this think must sound like sex! I love vr6s. I want a mk3 jetta with a vr in it as a daily. I would love to see a dyno run of this. Is that a 12v or 24v?

12v maybe eventually will switch to 24v. I will post next dyno run I need to tune for the new turbo and also may try a 7000 rev limit instead of 6000 just to be able to hold a gear a little longer

Well this is certainly unique. A neighbor of me had a turbo'd r32 with about the same (a)whp you have and that thing was damn fast already, it sounded insane too :P.

That was one of the reasons I did the swap and that they are cheap and reliable boosted
