4motion, no. Syncro, yes

Fitting a Syncro system is pretty much straight forward, but still expencive if you want it done right.
Instead of using a fueltank/floor pan out of a european Golf or a Rallye, you could just cut a hole, and getto-rig a cover. And then use a fuel cell.

i know allot about 4motion but what is syncro? i am seriously thinking about saving up and doing this all to a corrado

Syncro is 4motion's presessor.
It's a mechanically controlled system that utilise a viscous coupling instead of a electornically controled clutch like the 4motion system.

would thate mean you can tune it to have more power to the rear wheels most of the time like in porsches awd system where most of the time its 10%f 90%r ???

No.
I don't know if anyone have done it, but you could probably override the haldex unit, and get permanent 50/50 power distribution.

you know the system im talking about though in porsches??? id like an in cabin switch to over ride the unit that could be fun. let it do its stuff then when ya wanna drive like an idiot switch it off. but i wanna know if there is any way to increase drive power to the rear wheels without sumhow making the car RWD???

Well, a Porsche is have the engine in the back, so with the same awd system as a VW, you would have rwd with awd when you have wheelspin.
So when the the center clutch is disabled, you have rwd.

I'll look more into it, but i'm kinda in a hurry now.

As i though, all 4wd Porsches use a viscous coupling, just like Volkswagen's Syncro system. This is a simple yet effective way of doing it on a rear engined car. The car stays rwd as long as the rear wheels doesn't spin, and you can easily disable the viscous coupling and get a rwd car to play with.

Unless you wan't to move the engine to the rear of the car, there is now way you can get a Syncro setup to pull more than 50% on the rear wheels.

[GTi-VR6_A3]

well 50% will jsut have to be good enough kuz i like the engine right where it is. what do you think the cost of syncro would be???

Well, if you're not doing it yourself, I would guess somewhere between $6-8k. Matrix, RPI, EPI, Kinetic and others do it.
If you do the work yourself, it's as cheap as the parts you find, if you are lucky you can get away with $2-3k.

:flash: I have a Golf VR6 and I think it is good. And I owned a Corrado G60 before. I think the Corrado VR6 is your best choice. By the way, both of them don't come with TURBO.
