Had the VR6 dyno tested...
« on: 06 January 2007, 18:13 »
Had the old beauty rolling road tested today afternoon at www.streetracersgd.co.uk in Leicester, very good friendly people, highly recomended for all your tuning needs.  :cool:

Result.............179 BHP :huh: (Will post up a copy of the printout later, when she gets back with the camera!!!..AHHHHH)

Only mods done are Pipercross induction kit and a powerflow exhaust (which has cracked a little at the join from the cat, is blowing quite a bit, couldnt get it done in time)

How much BHP does a standered VR6 push out? :undecided: (97'P Highline)

Only had it about 4 months, keeps a smile on my face everytime i put my foot down :smiley:

Hello
How much did it cost for the rolling road test?
Do they tune while you are there at all, or is it just the test?
Cheers

I just bought my 97 VR6 with < 100K miles on it and FULL VW service history with only very minor things wrong with it (chain tensioner has been done) for little over 2K. Insurance on it is in the wife's name (she's 24) and it's < 400 f/c p/a
