1998 Mk3 VR6 Turbo project

[team_v]

Man this is going to end up with a few all nighters to get done in time for Mid June......
Having said that, i can't wait to see how these pan out and how it will deal with all the power and only FWD.

Hey buddy how's it going?

Yep going balls out on this one buddy; also looking for a clean vento for a daily as I've ordered some schmidt TH in 17's

Great to see someone else actually doing it, not just saying it.

I've only had issues with drive shaft when drag racing. Normal daily driving with road tyres is no issue.

The Peloquin issue IIRC was the radius being incorrect resulting it the load being carried by the shank and radius rather that the head of the bolt. They must have fixed the issue years ago, as I bought mine back in 09 and it already had been updated.

Thanks; yes there allways those who will talk

I'll be doing a few drags but I certainly won't be dumping on the line- useless in FWD anyway LOL

its good to see it coming together; had a problem with a clutch so having one made its quicker than waiting and i can also spec it to my requirements.... why is the US sooooo cheap for stuff like that but here its sooo expensive!

First page, first post.

the turbo spec is;

Precision 60 Trim with 0.82ar exhaust housing; with a 39mm Precision wastegate..

Can only imagine the sound this VR will make when it's alive
