i think the shocks r fine ther konis n ther oil not gas i think thats y they feel abit crap, im starting to think tho that my dampers arent specced to a vr6 but just a mk3!! they dont bottom out on the front but i dont think the springs r hard enuff, it rolls abit more than the back! -

http://www.bahnbrenner.com/vw_audi/VW_Turbo_Kits/MK3_VR6_Stage_2_Turbo_Kit.html is this turbo kit a bag ov shite then?? cuz i woz under the impression i just needed a downpipe n intercooler pipes cuz its 4 lhd?? i reckon someone should make a list of everything you need down to nuts n bolts, fittings and sizes etc!! lol every1 is just telling me to buy a mk4 turbo!! but im thinkin ummm NOOOO!!! a vr6 turbo is going to make too much of a satisfying noise!!!

o my fuckin life!!! how r u still alive?? if that person has a conscience hopefully they will spend the rest of ther life haunted by the fact theyve possibly killed someone!! fairplay though mate alot ov ppl would have given up now n possibly not even driven again!! get another VR and this is an oportuinty to make an even better1!!

im about to order a turbo kit from the US and the fact of popping boxes really worries me!! i went thru 5 boxes and 2 clutches in almost a year in my rs turbo!! dont want to be going through that again!! ive only had my VR about 6 months now so im still learnin about them, is the 02a the standard vr6 box? if i was to run around 300bhp and give my lead foot some exercise from time to time how long should i expect it to last?? have you had a stronger box built for yours, like some kinda quaife diff uprated bearings jobby?? do you know of any firms that have built them up in the past, n how much

thats not bad! i went thru 5 gearboxes in a year in my rs turbo, dont really want all that hassle again!! may have found a cheap alternative to quaife? http://www.bahnbrenner.com/vw_audi/Limited_Slip_Differential/Peloquin_Limited_Slip_Differential___02A.html

has anyone on here done a turbo conversion? how long will a standard gearbox last on around 300 bhp? if i wanted a really strong box has anyone got any recommendations? i understand a strong box will cost alot of cash i was thinking along the lines of a rebuild with uprated bearings and a quaife diff of some sort duno if that will be enough though?

its really doing my head in its even making me consider selling up! i duno if its jus cuz ther is so much weight on the front that makes the backend feel so unsettled. arggg!! -
ive had my vr6 4 about 5 months now and its fairly standard jus got adjustable koni 40mm setup on it but i find that my car is really twitchy and somewhat unsettled on the road at speed, it feels like the car cud let go from the road at any moment sometimes n scares the shit out ov me tbh! ive checked my tyre wear and the front left is abit more worn on the inside, im gettin new tyres n tracking done today but im confident that this isnt the whoel problem. is it a collection of bushes that need sorting? or is my camber all wrong from the previous owner fitting the konis?? i duno if its jus vr6
