dub envy 0 Posted October 13, 2006 Is the 2.8 Golf VR6 inlet the same as a 2.9? Thanks. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tekara 0 Posted October 13, 2006 I believe not, the 2.8 is a little more restrictive than its marginally larger counterpart Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tekara 0 Posted October 13, 2006 Is that an OBD2 2.8 mani on the right ? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mike Edwards 0 Posted October 13, 2006 Not that I'm aware of. The OBD1 2.8 manifold* I currently have on my VR6 looks alot like this underneath though. *Moves the 'kick in the pants' moment on full throttle downwards by about 500rpm according to the 'butt dyno' Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bigpants baby 0 Posted October 13, 2006 I belive the early golf vr (with dizzy) have the same inlet manifolds as corrado vr's,unrestrictive Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mgbv8mike 0 Posted October 13, 2006 I've tried both on my VR6....the 'original' 2.9 gave rather more top end hp, and the 2.8 more mid range torque I thought......though the VSR I've fitted is a big improvement on both. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mike Edwards 0 Posted October 13, 2006 The Shrick VGI I had on anothe VR6 gave substantially more torgue across the range - but the ECU had been remapped to suit. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
