Firstly thanks to everyone who helped me with my last post. I now have a good engine being fitted as we speak. Now I was wondering how much it costs to remap my vr6 and how much power it will gain? Also does anyone know of other cheap ways to gain lots of power?

My 2.9 original corrado engine has blown up, anyway whilst I was struggling to find a good replacement my brothers mates golf vr6 2.8 has been rear ended. He has scrapped the car but kept a few bits that were good on it.... Ie wheels, seats and engine which has only done 70000 miles (only thing is he has scrapped the engine auxiliaries). He said I can have the engine from it. Does anyone know if it will fit and if so is there gonna be any problems doing a straight swap for mine? Apart from a small loss of power?

to be honest i was hoping to get engine and work for about 1500. do you think thats realistic?

My engine is fully blown up and seeing as it needs replacing I might as well get the most powerful engine that will fit in with relative ease. I know there is only the 2.8 golf and 2.9 vr6 engine that fits straight in but i want more power so I wondered if anyone knew of a more powerful alternative? My budget is about £1500 could possibly stretch to 2k
