Re: 1.8t vs v6

my apologies boosted ... I don't know what crawled up my ... that day ... that said ... Vee is right about the potential for each engine ... I think you would be hard pressed to get a turbo for under 4g's new for the VR6 ... at least thats what I last priced them at ... the 1.8t's have much more potential for added power for less money ...

I'm no expert (as you have already guessed), but for the most part the people at vwvortex.com are extremely helpful with most any aspect of VW's. I also have a friend on the business of VW mods and chipping. I would suggest asking around for anyone who has any dyno runs before/after chipping ... there are a lot of them around.

btw ... I do have a VR6 .. I bought it mostly for the smooth power, but I could have gotten a 1.8t just as easily ... it's really a tossup for me, but if I bought new I'd go for a 1.8 now ... I think they have come farther in the few years since I got mine that they would be my choice.

btw .. the 94 s10 is an ss ... know it's no sports car, but I like it and the few mods I have done to it are enough for me ..

Once again ... apologies for getting my undies in a bunch back there

*edited for spelling*

Re: Re: 1.8t vs v6

thanks for the clean-up. i really appreciate your thoughts, it turns out you do know a thing or two i was just like 'WTF?, who is this guy?' and since you got an SS, well i guess you don't need the girls for that one [nice choice in truck!] apology accepted and MUCH appreciated [great feedback too ]

i do agree that turbo technology has come a long way in the last couple of years. and i'll check out that site. thanks

Yeah check out the vortex. They can be a little rough to newbies, but theres a lot of enthusiasts there that can give good info. The newer 1.8ts are as good as the VR6 IMO. Both are great motors so i can only suggest a test drive for your girl. Good luck, id give the info myself but im real busy and i rarely ever come here or too any forum.
Cheers.
