1.8t

[VisionaryVr6]

Personally I don't see the point. VR6=128kw, 1.8T (even chipped) is what 148kw? For the price you're better off supercharging a VR6 and getting 190-ish kw and monstrous Torque. Or turbo a VR6 for even higher gains for probably about the same coin.

Maybe because the 1.8t is a newer engine, more reliable, better on fuel lighter? Just some of the reasons I would consider it

not to mention the head flows better.
free flowing 5 valves vs. choking 2 valves per cylinder.

that being said, i do have a vr6... haha

Fair enough to all that BUT if you're after a significant power increase the 1.8T is a snoozer unless you spend big $$ on it on top of the already spendy conversion.

i reckon thats probaly true. 1.8t is a wicked engine. but so is the vr6

traction might be a little harder to get a hold of with the 1.8t being such a light engine compared with the VR. that being said, spend less money and get the same power with the vr and still have trouble getting traction...

If he hasn't got a VR6 in it to start with the supercharger is out for me.

A 200 horsepower MK3 would be pretty quick. If he got an s3 motor, he could go over 250hp.

What if you have a vr6... Turbo or supercharer or both? Superchrger in the engine bay and remote mount a turbo or two in the boot ^_^ hahaha if only it were possible :p

on a more seriouness note, what would make more power on the vr6 2.8, turbo or supercharger?
