  1. Gents, My VR6 turbo has always seemed to suffer a tad from hot starts. It can take svereal goes to get it to run. Starts straight away when cold? Can anyone suggest what might be causing this? Cheers
  2. [blockquote] 10% gain usually, but at the top end. 268s move the torque band further up. [/blockquote] How would they work on a Turbo'd VR? Would it make it more aggressive?
  3. 1.5 years - Bought it from VW dealship in Kingston when it was there..
  4. Turbo More scope for power but also more expensive.
  5. Looked at various setups. Have been looking at black diamond disks and predator pads + braided hoses. I like the 15's buit not sure they will give enough traction... Not heard of 312's fitting under a 15" rim always thought min was 17" - sounds interesting.
  6. What sort of brake setup do you suggest for that sort of power? For example if you wanted to keep the oem look and the standard 15" rims? *-) Ta 8-|
  7. Nice one Kev! Been waiting for you to sort out those pics !! :-p
  8. Yep - Ggeat bunch of people. :-d What did you have done there?
  9. Running a Ram air on mine. Great sound when you floor it and sounds the same as OEM setup when cruising, both at motorway or road speeds.

    Turbo!!!

    Cheers chaps - Think I am gonna have to do a fair bit of research into this, to get my head round it all. Not to mention save up a few beans for it all. Had a drive in a VR6T - Unbelievable power!!! Sold it to me from the start. Did not honestly think it would put all the power down - but it did @ 411bhp. Could not stop grinning!! Serious bit of kit.

    Turbo!!!

    [blockquote]Evos are nothing against a VRT mate, not even the FQ360. [/blockquote] Well that is great news! I can have a kit fitted and installed for around the 5k mark only thing is it will devaule the car... Black 1998 Highline 3dr manual with only 36000 miles on it...now I don't intent to sell it (at the moment) so I suppose it wouldn’t matter but it has been on me mind!! So has the thought of all that power potential ^o)

    Turbo!!!

    Kev - No problem mate. Thought I would ask as you really know your stuff! Unfortunately I am not up on all the odds and sods needed got a fair idea - but would not know what turbo is better than the other......Going up to the Phrim tomorrow - they said they can build a kit from scratch so maybe a custom kit would be easier to taylor to my driving style and budget!! Would be nice to blow away an Evo or two!! (6)
