Hi everyone. So long story short, my buddy was selling a car. I picked it up for Cheap. Im now the proud owner of a 2000 vr6 gti golf....with a turbo build. I dont know much about this car, but hope to learn as much as I can.

Some basic info if it helps? 1. Understanding design and construction; In my experience, I was surprised to find that the material specification for something like an Audi 1.4 crankshaft was the exact same as a 3.2 when I did some years of research into parts manufacturing, but in hindsight and more management based experience, it stands to reason really! There's often talk on forums about whether something is forged or not meaning it is stronger but this is often something of a fallacy! Uniformity of the construction of a part can change based on the actual process that is u

Currently on the hunt for a hx35 I have sourced one but it's the single scroll version I believe. 12cm hot side Anybody has any experience of single vs twin scroll ?

Howdy all ?. I've finally got the cash to do the body work on my car yayyyy!! ? Thing is, does anyone know where i can get good quality sills for my 3door mk3 Golf in Leeds please? Tried dealers and their obsolete so wanting next best thing please!! ??

No worries. Hopefully they've got what you need...

PART 2: So, once we have an understanding that there is a lot of marketing spiel, a lot of material and QC variances that you should look into to get the best, let's be more specific to VRT tuning! Common destruction of engines; I would say, in my experience, that there are two major factors in destroying engines and no matter how many times I tell people, this can also supersede any of the upgraded material specification aspects mentioned previously, it is what ultimately destroys engines the most in my opinion - age! Engines are set up for certain tolerances, certa
