half-9 0 Posted April 8, 2008 Greetings, I bought a Merc V280 and was very happy to discover that it has a VW 2.8 VR6 engine. I am trying to find out if I can supercharge it, what the mangment system is and so on.... If you ask, you get either, if you don't ask you get neither. SO - Has anyone looked into this before - can anyone help in my search for the right kit - does a kit exist? I have been nosing around HPS, Eaton & Vortech superchargers so far - no luck yet. Has anyone got any connections in Germany, may be someones done this before? The V280 is a bit of classy people carrier, 6 full leather captains chairs etc etc, but the engine is rated at around 174bhp - could do with an increase... Thanks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
boost monkey 0 Posted April 8, 2008 There's a Forced Induction VR6 thread on here mate, which is 70ish pages long iirc? People will only point you towards that so you might as well read it now! hth and Welcome! :D :salute: Jon. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Bacon 5 Posted April 10, 2008 Get the engine code because some VR6s fitted to Galaxys, Sharans and Vans etc were detuned to increase torque. You need to know what you're starting point is. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
