2.016v or VR6 need opinions...

Yes some guys on here have just over 160bhp with modified air box and ported throttle body

Ive had 16v for couple years,absolutley loved the abf ,induction mods and chipped ,it went very well once it was wound up,driven vr6 power wise  felt like not alot in it apart from that vrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr noise 

[boneybradley]

I would really like a VR6 but most around my price have the dreaded chain rattle (some much worse then others) and that's a big big job!! (what sane people would fit a plastic tensioner??)

so I would say VR if the chains healthy and you want a cruiser.. otherwise 16v

if you dont plan to turbo the ABF. id get a VR

Think everyone does them there selfs with a dremel, search for a guide. Don't bother with the remap get a chip from ebay

Standard chip has to be removed anyway to fit a programable one.

Mine has all the "standard mods" and only makes 154bhp so not everyone can get 160bhp.
Plus its subjective anyway as Rolling Roads differ and as yet nobody except Khare has stated which RR gave those figures.
As a Forum we know that JKM and Rtech and Carbon Chiptuning all give similar figures.
So those that say they get 160bhp with just an ebay chip I take with a pinch of salt.

Fair enough all seems pretty reasonable! Thanks lads.
