vr6 turbo

[aliki1027]

Im really into cars but just got into volkswagons, I know that the 1.8t is really easy to tune( well much easier to tune than a vr6, but not like a honda), but what i have heard is that turboing a vr6 would leave you with one bad ass pocket rocket.

I was wondering if anyone had any websites to go to with the information on turboing a vr6. and what turbos to use

My friend does turbo installs all day long. He uses ATP turbo kits. He also sometimes bores the suckers out to 3.2L and then adds the Canadian Passat 4 wheel drive setups on the the things. I myself used to work at a shop where we put on superchargers onto the VR6 (the Advanced Motorsports Solutions kits). We tried the Z-Engineering kits, but they did not seem to work the same.

Here is Tims web page.

I am in Hercules CA, which is about 10 miles East up highway 80 from Berkeley. I work at the VW dealership in Berkeley. Before that I was the shop forman at a shop called Griffin Motorwerke. I have been working on cars for about 10 years professionally in the East Bay. I have known Tim Tomas at Tomas Sport Tuning since high school. He knows his stuff when it comes to conversions and/or upgrades. We used to be in a freindly competition over who could build the fastest cars. We were pretty much tied. He built a 87 GTI and dropped a VR6 into it, and I upgraded a 2001 Audi S4 to 400 hp.

If ya need more info email me.

GETTING BACK TO THE QUESTION!!!

You can get a Turbo kit for your VR6 at EIP tuning. I've been so confused for the past 5 months on whether to get a GTi 1.8T and do upgrades on it or get the VR6 and Turbo it. So I've finally decided to get the 2003 GTi VR6 and Turbo that badass!!!!!!!!! That car can pack a whole lot of Horses and Torque for a Pocket Rocket. Check out EIP's website at www.eiptuning.com

PEACE!!!!:smoker2: :grey: :sun: :bandit:

Eip has a shady reputation...

The matrix turbo system is going to be sick (if they ever get their manifolds cast!)
