If youre looking for a bolt on kit have a chat to C2 boys in the UK. They have software and manifolds that will bolt straight up. You will pay more than you will from the US though. But US kits arent a direct fit anyways and the US companies usually wont have software for our ECUs which are different to those in the US.

no man hes not on here him a mate and his sitting next to me kinna taking the piss out of him haha not to worrie ... and yes i will watch my mouth from now on ...and every one is entitled to there opnion on otherworkshops but hey i never said anything bad about you ..


and about the kits .. so its not worth even buying the kits from the us at all if there softwear dosent even work that depressing but thanks heaps for that !! and yeah not so much looking for a bolt on and go im happy to build the kit any ideas about turbo like i was talking to a friend pete who is on here and we where discussing turbos how would a t28 go on the vr6 ??

yeah i was just trying to make a point. Appologies for being so blunt.

Well the big question you need to answer first is how fast you want to go. The cheap US kits use a t3/4 as you probably know. No point re-inventing the wheel if you are happy with modest gains. (sub 300hp)

If you wanna go all out id be looking at a GT30 of some flavour. But youre gonna need to crack the motor open to do that seriously. And as you will know being a mechanic that gets expensive!

Volksaffair have a bit of a reputation for being nitwits themselves to be honest.

Haha Funny

I saw you the other day VR6 guy, you were turning from Whiteman st Southbank. I was looking at your car. You had a set of OZ F1 ? wheels in the back. I was going to stop you and ask you if i could have them lol

[vwnick]

yeah well thats my issue i will be more than happy for 250 fwk at the moment even 200 would heaps for a front wheel drive car that i want for the road but yeah i dont want too have too crack her open as the engine is only just kinna run in at 150 nice movement and i dont want to tighten her back up buy doing all that so i think at most i will decomp and cams is asfar as i would wont to go i want to leave my bottom end alone iv looked at the c2 guys looks good do you know of any one in aus that dose kits or is it just a matter of they have imported them and resell ?

and thaks mate but i understand where you where comming from you where right and i love volks affair there good to me and are soem very smart people working there so im not fussed what other people have to say about us

[vwnick]
