    "COUGH" "COUGH" I think you will find there are some VR6's on the go that have that sort of money spent on them and making some reasonable HP....

    The answer to this issue is simple.....

    Anything is possible if you have enough money, but there is no getting away from the fact that there is no substitute for good old CC's so the VR6 has to win the day on that score...........

    There is a 1000BHP VR6 in America, but it's not in a Golf. It's in a proper "rail" (read: big f*ck off dragster" and runs 7's......

    I think you mean get a vr for the noise or a 1.8t for cheapness?

    Surely its cheaper for the VR!

    Just take a pic of your old engine bay, get it printed on a big sheet of paper and stick it on top of the new engine, she'll never notice ;)

    HPAs Twin Turbo is about 20,000 fitted, but that includes retro fitted 4motion - Id guess about 10k for the twin turbos then? And that 'only' puts down 490BHP. I would have thought 1000BHP was mad Skyline/Supra territory only?

    Mind you Dahlbacks Audi pwoered Golf is 750BHP
