supercharging what else is required

[john555 0]

are engine mounts, a oil cooler or anything else needed when supercharging a vr6

engine mounts/oil cooler are very much advised also a de-cat pipe. if your going for 8-10psi then that is all you really need. if going for anymore than 10psi?? then some form of water injection is also required.

i got your pm about chipwizards, i will send you the number later.

WI is optional really depends how hot the car runs. Have a look at some of the links/guides in the members sections Good luck

im new to the vw scene as iv only had jap cars before hand il get a oil cooler engine mounts and thermostat before i get the charger fitted where am i best off looking to get any of these as and what sort of prices should i expect to pay

[xyber 1]

charger kit and mounts from NS Racing, price depends on exchange rate as they are brought in from the US but a stage 2 (8 psi 280 bhp) VF kit and VF front mount will be about £2300 delivered

oil cooler - I got my set up from THE PHIRM £160 delivered

low temp stat from awesome gti £16

Custom Remap by vince at Stealth £420 (its worth the drive)

You want & need a remap on a rolling road!

As you have to run the car in for at least 500miles there's your run in and the trip home will be much more fun. (just take petrol money as you wont be able to help yourself) Then you can do an oil change etc

The reason people use Stealth is he used to set up racing VW many moons ago and knows them inside out and his quality is good. so if you have an issue then he can fix it as he goes. Give him a bell.

Also worth getting mk2 cool plugs and ensuring your Lambda is working correctly as that is needed. Also he will try setting up as MAF to start with so will run better than MAF-less. There are some threads on this & worth the read

The oil cooler can come later you just need to ensure you have the right mix of water/coolant and keep the oil in good nick. It is winter so the ambient is lower. Also use quality products.

I know I have mentioned this above but there are some threads on this and install issues. So worth a read as they will help you decide and pick up the issues you may not have remembered.

Good luck with it. I know you'll love it and post your numbers once up and running.

you just need some mk2 16v plugs, they work very well in a s/c vr6.
