as far as im aware that all thats been done to the car. All the work done was by the previous owner. I havent got alot of cash so turbo would be way out of my price range but i was hoping to get it to around 250 bhp without to much major costs. Ill look into those things you have mentioned though thanks

alright guys, now my g is running at 210bhp with a stage 4 charger, chip, s/s exhaust but im looking to get more out of it. I have been advised to go for a big valve head but i have also been told this can be quite costly. What kind of power could i be looking at with a ported big valve head and what else could i do to maximize the power thanks purds

I need a sump for my corrado vr6 obd1 engine, Will a sump from a 2.8 vr6 obd1 golf engine fit? also how about the passat and vento vr6's ThanksPurds
-
Alright chaps, just wondering if anyone knows of anywhere good to get a sump, i phoned gsf and they only sell the gasket, its for a 95 vr6 thanks Purds

yeah mine have started to peel aswell, im gonna get them refurbed without the laqure and get polished lips and hopefully this will sort out the problem Purds

No real plans at the moment apart from cleaning up the paintwork, a few spots of rust and a couple dents but nothing major, hottunings are ok, quite bouncy cause the ride is really hard but this helps so it doesnt rub, you get what you pay for at the end of the day but i fully reccomend them The car was for sale but i just cant bring myself to sell it so it has been removed from sale thanks for the kind comments purds

cheers guys, yeah my coilovers are solid so its all gravy :D, the search continues for a new carpet :(
-
cheers buddy, i only get slight scrub on full lock but only on the left side as its slightly lower than the right (needs adjusting) right down more that is :D
-
thanks mate, the arches are standard, i think the coiloys could actually come down a bit more lol (might do it tommorow), one thing about the hottuning coilys is they are rock solid but in this case thats a good thing so that helps with the no rubbing :D
-
Alright here are the pics, for some reason the steering wheel looks huge in the pic but it is def a 280

Hello guys and girls, im in two minds at the moment to either sell or get more out of my raddo vr, i have been thinking of either a turbo kit or supercharging it so i have 2 questions 1. which would you recomend, turbo or supercharge, which will give more power/reliabilty (please dont just say turbo cause you have a turbo and likewise for supercharger) 2. how much would each of them cost for all parts needed (new/second hand) thanks purds
-
cheers for the comments guys, et is 25 and using 205/40/16's

Righty ho, coilovers are now on, back left still needs some tweeking but the rest is spot on, just took it for a drive round the worst roads i my area and it didnt rub atall so fingers crossed it will stay that way, dont think ill be able to take passangers any more though :D
-
