Big ash 3 Posted March 31, 2016 Report Share Posted March 31, 2016 Hi Iv just brought a mark3 golf vr6 with a blown head gasket so I'm going to get it sorted in next few months and I was thinking of giving it a turbo why I have the head off the car. Just wondering what will I need to buy and do to turn it into a turbo I no I need to change the compression but I don't really wanna pull the Pistons out is there anything out there to make this happen this is my first vw Iv had if anyone could help that would be brill I have about £1000/1500 to spend many thanks ash Link to post Share on other sites
dave_424 48 Posted March 31, 2016 Report Share Posted March 31, 2016 You will not be able to turbocharge a VR6 to a high standard with a £1500 budget. It's more likely to be 3K+ VR6Pete 1 Link to post Share on other sites
VR6Pete 1,455 Posted March 31, 2016 Report Share Posted March 31, 2016 Agree - If you want reliable setup you will be spending £3k at least. Stay well clear of eBay kits. Link to post Share on other sites
lilfuzzer 48 Posted March 31, 2016 Report Share Posted March 31, 2016 To be fair even 3k is light if you want to do it right Lads above are right its at least 3k best think is to do is write a shopping list for everything you will need and price it up that will give you your budget. I done that and still came across things that needed sorting and when that happens the price spirals Sent from my SM-G357FZ using Tapatalk Link to post Share on other sites
dave_424 48 Posted March 31, 2016 Report Share Posted March 31, 2016 (edited) I did every bit of spanner work, welding, fabricating etc. myself. Saving me a HUGE amount compared to getting a garage to do it, and mine was over 4k Edited March 31, 2016 by dave_424 Link to post Share on other sites
