THe only one who has come close to building a turbo'd VR and is in the stages of building his drag VR6 is Seb (Bug Racer) speaks to him with the size of the turbo its freakin huge!

check on the Clubgti forum, there is a few VR6 turbos been built on there too

Supercharger...

There are off the shelf kits which will put out more power than you can reasonable use on the road. Having said that from what I have read Turbo can do bigger power figures...

[Pullstarter]

I'd be more inclined to supercharge also, seems a lot less hassle and as Aaron says plenty of grunt.

You dont need to do anything to the engine, you should be able to run about 9 pounds on standard compression ratio.

You can always use a decompression head spacer and run big boost, but the are very strong motors

A turbocharger will ALWAYS give higher peak power figures comparably, but you don't have the same throttle response or progressive power output.

Go blower!

I would supercharge it aswell. A good, reliable, engineerable turbo conversation is well over $10,000 at any reasonable workshop.

You ideally need the intercooled blower kit in the Aussie climate, though, which bumps the price up a lot. The Aquamist kit is another option too, and it's pretty cheap.

This isn't the place to be asking anyway. No one on here has one that's running, whereas there are thousands on Vortex, along with all the info

You can run up to 10 psi on standard internals as long as they are in good condition with out to many km's on them, but its having a good safe tune that is the most important thing with any custom setup...
Going the whole hog i would use Pauter rods, 8.5:1 JE pistons, ARP head/rod/main studs, inconel coated oversize supertech valves, HD valve springs, titaninum retainers, light weight lifters, Custom cam grinds to suit turbo, Alluminium flywheel and pulleys, linished crank or reground if required. Fully dynamically balanced, Custom inlet and exhaust manifolds. Port and polish and port match head and manifolds. Garrett GT35/40r with 45mm tial wastegate and a 3" exhaust. Motec or Autronic ECU. Their is so much more things than this though......

Alluminium flywheel and pulleys,

Im running the standard flywheel and pulley . Why would you play around with the harmonics and balancing of the engine without really knowing its outcome

linished crank or reground if required.

Id get the crank knife edged as well
