Hi! I don't know why I'm not a member here already! I've popped in and out of the forum over the years, but went to login today and it appears i've never signed up! Anyway, I'm Bristol based and have a mostly VW history.. 8 Corrado's and a few mk2 golfs. I'm currently working on a VR6 Rado, 16v mk2 & mk4 estate daily driver. I'll try and pop in more often now I have a login! Baz

Welcome ;D Lovely Rado's there I've always thought about getting a VR6 but haven't yet taken the plunge. How do you find the G60 vs the VR6? I've heard G60 can be lacking and often gives expensive trouble Ian

Cheers for the comments! G60 vs VR argument is a hard one.. All my G60s have had engine work done, as standard they're okay at 160bhp, but easily get to 200-210 and they're then very fun, pulling hard to 150.. They're reliable if you look after them, I ran one for a few years as a daily with no real issues. My VR is standard, smooth, refinded etc, but boring as hell. It sounds great, but thats about it! They're a great base engine for forced induction but thats about it for me! Everyone else loves them though, i'm on my own! I was spoilt by having the R32 engine in my last one. It was on standalone management and mapped at 284bhp. That was a monster!
