RS VR6 0 Posted October 16, 2006 Here in the states a clean, complete VWMS VSR will fetch about 2000usd. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NickVR6 0 Posted October 16, 2006 I saw one go for £1500 about a yr ago mate. Defo worth over 1k, but i hav'nt seen one recently. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Bacon 5 Posted October 16, 2006 Yes OBD1 only, unless you're willing to modify it for OBD2. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dr_mat 0 Posted October 16, 2006 Be clear about whether it's a VSR or the Schrick VGI. They both do the same job, but the VSR came out of VW and the Schrick .. well it came out of Schrick. Original VSRs also come with an EPROM for the early ECU to remove the need for a remap. Of course that eprom doesn't work on later cars .. :( Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JayGT 0 Posted October 16, 2006 Does it come with all the required ancillaries? I understand it needs solenoid, vacuum tank, electrics plus more possibly? I'm sure someone else can confirm whats required. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dutch24V 0 Posted October 16, 2006 Sold mine earlier this year for 1300 uk pounds. That was with all the required bits too, ie, solenoid/switch/actuator, vacuum reservior, the original chip plus a unichip with a stealth remap on it. Dutch Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bigpants baby 0 Posted October 17, 2006 yey,got the car back,ere it drives like a supercharged golf vr with this vsr. i spose its up for grabs Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NickVR6 0 Posted October 17, 2006 Sounds nice mate! Out of my current budget, but i doubt it will hang around. Don't know how you find this stuff, your a genious! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Supercharged 2 Posted October 17, 2006 One of £500 or so produced by Pierburg... IMO this makes the VR6 engine complete as it is how VW intended it... BigPants - have you spoken to the mad old boy a few doors up from you about it? you know, big garage and 2 Corrado's - he might just be interested... Otherwise i heard Kevhaywire was after one but he wants to cut it in half and weld a cabbage to it or something... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

double-6s 0 Posted October 18, 2006 Is there much difference between the VSR and the Schrick? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dr_mat 0 Posted October 18, 2006 VSR has holes for the spark plug leads (which means you don't have to remove the manifold to change the plugs), and fits much more snugly. It also fits beneath the standard plastic engine cover. The VSR looks well sweet, in that respect. The Schrick is alleged to flow slightly better, particularly at high revs, but I don't know if anyone's ever really thoroughly tested that. The Schrick does have unequal length inlet runners though, to balance up the length of the flow path to the front and rear bank of cylinders, so that's gotta help a little.

bigpants baby 0 Posted October 18, 2006 Is there a plug in chip to take out for extra fuelling? (without me removing the scuttle cover to find out) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mgbv8mike 0 Posted November 21, 2006 Hi, I bought a VSR from the States earlier this year, it came without the vac reservoir (I'm not sure if they actually used them or if it was just the Schrick), but with:- Switch-over box (small grey box), vac valve, and actuator (black plastic, bolts to manifold) , vac pipe connection to manifold, wiring to switch over box, and to harness. I may have some pics if that helps . Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iow_corrado_g60 0 Posted November 21, 2006 yeah that would be great thanks for info can you source the other bits if needed! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
