vr6 or 1.8t
« on: 08 May 2004, 09:48 »
bit of a dilemma

have a budget of 6000-7000

shoud i go for a minted fully loaded vr6 highline or a lower spec iv1.8t?

i prefer full leather etc but cannot stretch to include full leather in a 1.8t.

what would you do?

I'd go for the VR6, you will get a nice motor, with plenty of power, and not be frustrated about not being able to afford to do the mods you would want to do to the 1.8T.
I don't own this anymore - I just can't be arsed to change the picture

VR6 is hard to beat at 5000 quid.
You will be able to get a mint highline for under ?7000.
They can be tuned to well over 200 bhp.
A supercharger kit is 2000 quid, simply bolts on, will give you 250 bhp  ;)

It is a simple as that.
Compression on the V6 is quite low, so it will run fairly low boost induction, no bottom end rebuild required.
If only i had the cash  :'(
