    sorry for the questions chaps, i don't come on here a lot. but the information i get is great! (as you know my vr6 headgasket is going) i will be super-charging in the future - stage 2! i know from vince @ stelath racing that its ok to run a standard headgasket on my stage 2 supercharger when eventually fitted. but for peace of mind i want to lower the compression, is it just a thicker metal gasket over the standard gasket? guess it will be ok to run it N/A for a while?? also where is best place to buy one? kind regards

    just called vw and price was £211.74 inc vat for 20x headbolts and a headgasket. i cant see anywhere online on this crap phone that does arp headbolts?? see some on ebay but its only 12x of them where i think there are 20x headbolts if im right?? just wondering if standard genuine goods will handle a stage 2 supercharger??
  3. cpfcvr6
    as title guys, who is the cheapest to buy these parts from?? golf vr6 2.8. or would genuine new standard headbolts be ok for a stage 2 supercharger running 8psi @300bhp?? also standard headgasket ok?? best regards

    thanks lukey, there is nothing wrong with any other pipes or hardware etc but i might change the crack pipe as it will be a front end off job again. ive got a set of new inlet manifold gaskets in the garage and a 6 branch exhaust so gaskets for the exhaust are not a concern. i can strip it all down no problem, its just the timing im not sure about as ive never done a vr6 before! would a standard genuine vw headgasket and standard bolts be ok for a stage 2 charger running 300bhp?

    the headgasket is weeping coolant down the block on the 2.8 golf vr6, ive cleaned it thinking its the core plug but its not. what else should i replace once its all off?? all the chains and guides have been done 3 years ago! compression test is still showing 160psi and there is no water mixing with oil etc......... new headbolts - ARP?? genuine headgasket i get a bit of oily smoke when i start it up sometimes but it clears straight away, guides im guessing?? may as-well replace everything necessary while its apart! regards

    going to buy some genuine vw ones as the rubbish O.E spec GSF ones lasted 2 years! :@ are they the same in the whole mk3 range or are gti and vr6 lower arms different?? or would it be better going for the yellow and orange bushes? sorry cant remember what there called? what are the benefits of these? (6) also ive had the camber done so i dotn want to disturb it, will i have to move the hub for the lower arm? cant remember how i done them last time!

    hello peeps, had the front wheel bearings replaced 2 years ago. (y) but the whirring sound of a bearing has come back when going in a straight line, turn left slightly and the sound goes away turn right and sound is still there?? checked wheels for play and cant really feel anything. also when i go over a usual small pothole or bump in road i get a bang on the left side! looked at the wishbone etc for a perished bush but cant see anything, suspension isnt leaking either! any ideas? |-)
