southerner88 10 Posted December 3, 2013 Please someone buy this from me before I get even more tempted to remove the VR and replace with this....cant decide what to do but If someone buys this off me I wont have a choice lol :bonk: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Bacon 5 Posted December 3, 2013 Seems a good price for a peice of history from a well respected tuning house. I think more details of what's special about that engine over a regular AGU would help oil the marketing wheels a bit more :) Aside from the turbo, does it have stronger rods, different cams, different pistons etc etc? As a newbie 1.8T buyer, it would be easy to skip this in favour of the more powerful BAM engine, unless there's something unique about this one?

southerner88 10 Posted December 3, 2013 Unfortunatley I think the only massive alteration to the engine from Oettinger is the turbo....This is from their website... OETTINGER turbocharger OETTINGER sports exhaust system (down pipe, rear and front silencer, twin tail pipes Ø76 mm) Recalibration of the engine management Modified air intake tract front brak Like I said I am very very very tempted to pop this engine in as a replacement for my VR. Just dont know if Im ready to lose the VR soundtrack or not.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Bacon 5 Posted December 4, 2013 Why not stick it in and keep the VR6 engine for a rainy day? You could even slowly rebuild it over time. Do you have any authenticity paperwork with it? I think a Corrado with an Oettinger 1.8T could be a good investment. I'm more interested in go than noise, but I know I what you mean about the VR. it gets under your skin!

southerner88 10 Posted December 4, 2013 Yeah I have a booklet etc from oettinger, also the service history is stamped up by oettinger...thinking I might have to look into getting a few parts for the conversion lol Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dox 23 Posted December 4, 2013 In 2001 a few of us on TDIclub.com arranged for UPsolute to fly over from Austria to Gti International and flash / remap 20 or so cars in a group buy (whilst over here they set up a few distributers for their maps whilst pocketing the cash for the maps). SBG had a stand with customers cars with everything from Oetinger maps to engine conversions / body kits / huge rims and tv screens etc Their prices for maps included full VAG type warranties and were £1K plus! for a generic type map. I got talking to one of the lads on stand that had the group buy map at £800ish and after I told him my map was £167 the guy nearly burst into tears. How SBG went bust with the prices they asked god only knows.......... Anyone with old copies of The Golf mag, VW audi car (VW driver / Audi driver), performance VW of around this time will have adverts inside that will quote prices and what actual parts were involved in the conversions, but a large part of the huge sums they charged were for the VAG type warranties they sold packaged into the scaremongering adverts.
