    If you had a Mk3 Vr6 would u Turbo or supercharge it? Can you give reasons and prices on having this done?
    Laso what performance figures would you see?

    What sort of prices would u be looking at? got quoted 3500 for a supercharger, and gives 260BHP. How much for a turbo? and what power would i expect?

    15k for it all done sounds a but much to me

    LOL, yeah just a few times eh!!? :lol:

    350Bhp isn't too much of an Issue with a Turbo on a VR6. From what I read/heard you can get away with stock bottom end and use a thicker copper headgasket to lower compression.

    EIP Tunings stage 2 turbo conversion will set you back $5495.00 which ain't awful lot more than what you were quoted for an SC and get you 400+ Horses to play with.

    EIP don't change the internals or ECU till they hit Stage 3

    And for an aditional $2995 your'll get another 100 horses.


    I know what I would choose! I was planning on S/C my car while I built my S/C and Turbo'd engine for mine, but after a lot of thinking about it I have come to my senses and just gonna build a twin turbo 24v engine instead and save 2.5K on a S/C which IMHO would be a waste of money. Whether I'm gonna run them side by side or sequentially is another matter however.......



    NB. All Power figures are quoted from the EIP Site so I can only presume they are accurate, but all are backed up with a Dyno Sheet on the pages.
