baker378 4 Posted July 11, 2017 Report Share Posted July 11, 2017 Been my project for a good while now. 01 VRT, bought from someone who pushed way too much boost and blew the head a 1/4" off the block. Lacking a turbo, and new oil drain line, and some turbo gaskets. Soon to at least be road worthy. Then the body will be the next step. Only 107k miles surprisingly, praying the clutch is still good to go. blackwookie 1 Link to post Share on other sites

baker378 4 Posted July 12, 2017 Report Share Posted July 12, 2017 Man up.in your corner is where I have seen the most vr6 blocks. And idk, just ordered arp, and left it at that. But I would imagine so. He cranked the boost up "just to see what would happen " and well he found out. So I rescued her from a pretty serious idiot that way it could be brought back to the potential she had. blackwookie 1 Link to post Share on other sites
