Does the other side of the pond do everything differently? Im lost now!

 

Been fleebaying turbo kits for VR6's to see whats out and about. All the refernces from the americans are all for 2.8 VR6 - is this what we call 2.9 VR6 or is it a different model all together?

The US got 2.8 vr6s europe got 2.9 vr6s

[southerner88 10]

so for once, we got the bigger and better!

 

presumably those Turbo kits would not work for the Euro VR6?

Im not in the know with turbos but I cant see any problem

They also had some 12v Mk4's as well and remember there is a difference between RHD and LHS bay set ups. I wouldnt bother with it.

They do work, we've just got in some VR6 turbo manifolds, they're designed to work with all VR engines, 2.8&2.9 12v, 24v and the 3.2. We've got both twin and single turbo, we're just on with checking them over and looking for a test bed for them :)

It's usually the LHD downpipes that don't work on RHD cars, but sometimes all that's needed is some minor tweaking with the welder.

 

I would avoid the really cheap kits. Things that cheap generally are for a reason!

Will let you use mine for a test - if the parts stay on afterwards that is :-))
