- Today I go over pricing on each individual component in the build. I collected parts over the span of 2 years, new and used. Now it's been grouped into one video for your enjoyment. This can give you a good idea of how expensive one of these builds can get.

The vr6 turbos are slowly becoming common. One of the best engines. Wicked video bro. 👊🏿
Cheapest I can find is 8k

@@Streetmodz-Joe a turbo kit for an r32
@Stigs Ukrainian Cousin yeah man the plug n play kits can get proper expensive. It's a bit cheaper when you build your own kit, it's just hassle lol. Either way, r32/VR6T are the best 👌🏿. When are you going to Post some stuff up on your channel???
@@Streetmodz-Joe I have had 2 mk7 golf Rs so I don't know what im doing with a vr6
seen this car in person, it’s crazy the effort you put into it, can’t wait til my mk2 is done and i can see it more at meets
That's awesome info!
It was nice to meet you at Empire today. Rick
Amazing video !
Thank you from a VR6 lover.
Great info! I have a 2003 GLI VR6 24v. Would like to turbo one day!
Hey bro, I'm actually from Australia and looking to do this with a vr6 Bora. Thank you heaps for this video, keep it up!!!
These videos are helping me with fixing my corrado vr6 thank you
Dammit what am I doing here? Yesterday I comment in a car group about how my old chipped mk3 vr Jetta could pull on the impala SS 260hp v8. Some v8 guy call me b.s. after those days I did put on a turbo. 361hp on stock block. No failure on c2 stage 2 chip. So now I’m watching vr turbo content and your post got me wanting to build another. I have a B9 allroad and a mk5 GLi so maybe a 3.2 swap into the GLi will satisfy what I’m missing. Following your build now. Make me proud.
My mk3 vrt:
Turbo Kit- $5500
VEMS Standalone(Used)- $1000
Arp head studs- $250
Arp rod bolts- $160-180 ish(can’t remember)
Schimmel Performance SRI(Used)- $780
Clutch Masters Fx500- $650
Ebay FPR- $80
Tial Q50 BOV- $240
BFI Stage 2 mounts- $300
Siemens 630 Injectors- $300
Quaife Diff- $900+
Walbro 450 Pump- $130
AEM Tru Boost- $250
AEW Wideband- $175
Then the install was about $6500. It was cheaper than usual because I was in good with the guys at the shop I went to. Got plenty of work done prior to boosting it.
Stock block but semi built head. Have 268 cams, valve springs and retainers. New valve stem seals etc.
One of my friends is a big VW 1.8T guy and he’s currently building a big turbo 2.1L Stroker for his mk4 Jetta. He’s been trying to convince me to do a TDI conversion on one of my trucks but honestly, I think a Turbo VR6 RWD setup in my bagged 5 speed ‘91 Chevy S10 would be way cooler. I have a lot of experience with American Engines and American trucks so my VW knowledge is quite limited currently. I have plenty of time to learn tho as my frame is currently in the sandblasting/powder coating phase. Thank you very much for helping me with my research. Best wishes.
What is his budget?
Great video i’m currently trying my hand at rebuilding my 94 12v and i just pulled the engine out. This has given me a lot to think about parts wise. Keeping it na for now for cost effectiveness but hopefully one day i can afford to supercharge or turbo it
Dude this is cool af... I'd love to turbo my 3.2 vr6 in my porsche cayenne... much respect from Ontario
12Vs VRs are gettin rare, I see theres more 24Vs on the road today. Gone are the day of a junkyard full of VRs. We NEEDED a page like this, ty. I usta hate on DSGs but after racing a Mark 5 32 and getting whipped by one I see just how faster they shift.
Great vid bro. I have a MK4 R32 and I installed a HPA FT470 and with HPA’s Triflow cams.
Very interesting video 😊
Definitely a fan of Raceware fasteners if you need them, I've used em on about 3 builds.
I've had a lot of friends get ARP and have problems with them, especially on the older idi diesels.
Wow great information and really well done. Thanks for the good info
shit! Jakes over here in the house... Another great video friend! looking forward to being an early follower when you blow up on the tubes.
I have a Jetta 12v VR6, this is exactly what i eas looking for.
Fucking tight, soon as I get a new daily I’m gonna turbo my 24v gti
Nice
Good content man, I sold my soul to vw a long time ago, proud owner of 2003 vw gti vr6 24v sadly misfiring on the rear bank and it's not the hall sensor so i gotta tear her apart and maybe build it idk, and i got a 2012 mk6 golf r apr stage 2+ she scoots but still not enough powa! idk which one to throw money at lol my dream tho is to put the mk4 body on a ttrs that would be insane
Why the rebuild? Broken? Or just really tired?
Very interested video. Do you think I would also be able to get my hands on a partial HPA typhoon kit?
Which engine would u choose if ur tight on budget and space (project car) and would u turbo it, I'd sacrifice power if it means having instant/smooth throttle response
Thx
I have a MK1 Audi tt quattro 3.2L 24v VR6 I'm starting the process of turboing it hoping to have the only MK1 VR6T tt in my country
Can anybody help me on aftermarket injectors for a 12 valve 2.8 l VR6 from a Mark 4 Jetta?
I've heard that you can use the 330cc 85 to 91 Mustang injectors. But outside of that I can't find any information on this topic. I would greatly appreciate the help.
Hey could you give be a break down of what you didn’t for you vacuum line coming from the intake manifolds
I have a 24 valve was this 12 or 24 trying to turbo mine right and figure out the best information there’s a ebayish kinda kit I’m thinking about getting but trying to learn more if it’s worth it im in the u.s non tax state
Nice video, i am personally very interested in turboing a car. Thats one of the things on my bucketlist, but i have no experience doing so. Is turboing a VR6 VW engine relatively easy or should i get someone to help me? I have very little experience with modifying cars
Any tips? I have a 2003 golf GTI vr6 24v what should I do to it first?
So far only done the engine with no handling or interior and exterior mods ive spent £6500 still need to get my exhaust and map done so ill be around £7500-£8000 when the engines done. Havent paid for labour as i have a garage.
I just got a golf vr6 2.8 2002 will this build go for mine?
Can you share the list on a spreadsheet? Please,,,,,
Thought about doing something different for my 280z and building an AWD vr6,…. After this video looks like I’ll stick to a LS lol
You’re a Canadian yea? I’ve dreamed of doing what you’ve done here to a bora 4-motion (Jetta here, we never got the 4-motion option) When that 25 year wait is up for import I have dreams lol
Where in Canada are you located ?
Hello i have a huge question witch is worh itt more making my vr6 twin turbo buying a part car v8 or w12 witch is the most reliable and smarter to do to my car ??
Buy a 3.2 24v and destroke it to a r30 engine. It can handle 1300hp and 9000rpm
Hey I’m in the US , I can buy parts and ship them to you. I don’t know if that will help the cost
Is yours the 12 or 24v?
i paid 1000$ for a whole ass 05 3.2L vr6 touareg. runs and drives great. i wanna mod it but damn i only paid 1k usd. i cant justify 10k in upgrades
Going fast, is not for the faint of heart on the wallet.
Keep it as daily/weekend OEM plus or minor upgrades
@ironbloodedmyth1204 nah I fabricated a custom cold air I take and custom cat back lol. That's it though
For as much as you put into the car, making the r32 stuff work and all that, did you ever consider just swapping on a 3.2l top end? The bolt right up the the 2.8l block
REALLY?! First time I've heard this. That would mean no need for Mr. Schimmel and that expense..
How was it tuning using emu black, just purchased it for my r32T swapped gli build, 9:1 spacer, 550cc gt35 .82 hotside, arp head studs 38mm wastegate
It wasn't bad takes a good day to familiarize yourself with just the software, and then a few days ahead trying to dial in VE and enrichments. I still have work to do but we did get it to a point where I was able to do full pulls and drive the car around.
@@thirdgeargrind8033 would u be able to make a video of tuning with the emu black ?, setup/install/ basic run through? I’m not huge on tuning lol this will be my first stand alone
@@thirdgeargrind8033 and did u use the stock maf sensor for intake temp or did u get an aftermarket solution
@@mk4dub824 If I can figure my own car out ill make a brief video on things I did to make it start. My intake manifold has a spot for a 1.8t IAT sensor. Has issues with heatsoakinf the sensor. Emu black says if running an aluminum SRI that it's more ideal to run the IAT sensor in the charge piping right before the TB. Also if you can run a GM one as there is a direct drop down selection option for that in the software so do that.
Hi man,
I would like to get in contact with you. I have a simular build but I made a bad decision and Picked MAXXEcu over EMU.
What is your experience of the EMU PNP solution? Does it plugg straight in?
Greetings Bas Rendering
I've heard people say good things about the maxxecu. The downside of course is not having a pnp solution. My experience with the PNP has been exactly that. Plug and play, which is super awesome.
@@thirdgeargrind8033 i have maxxecu race pnp on my 3.2 vr6 , and its great
@@marcusjaaksi1542 I've heard of people even switching from emu to maxxecu.
Do you like that EMU Black ECU? Saw the Malaka guys using it. I'm putting a couple of turbo builds together and was flip-flopping on whether to use them or something like a Haltech. I've got like 3 builds to put together (AAA, AFP, BLV), so would like to get your feedback on your experience. I'd rather spend money on an aftermarket ECU than pay for conversion wiring for those motors.
All I can say is hell yea just press the buy button my man.
Who makes that turbo?
So whatbhappened woth the injectors? Dod u get it to idle well?
Yes. It was all down to my emu black tuning. I'm still battling an IAT issue which can be solved with a custom table once I figure that out.
Trying to turbo my 12v soon ... or supercharge
I'm rebuild my block right now. Looking at how much this guy spent, now does pre-assembled turbo kit don't seem so bad in terms of pricing.
I want to turbo my 24v 3.6vr6 off my cross sport 😞 no turbo kits yet
Hgp turbo in Germany
Those rings are for stock pistons?? Want to sell them if so?
They are being used to rebuild another stock VR.
@@thirdgeargrind8033 where you got them?
@@TONIBLADE Local supplier VM autohaus Burnaby, BC, Canada.
Hey were are u from In canada im from quebec are u speaking french?
I am on the west coast of Canada. Je ne parle pas bien francais.
We don’t talk about the costs 😂 if my wife found out how much I’ve spent to get north of 1050hp in mine she would divorce me 🤣
Tbh this video could have been a photo
Is it a 3.6 vr6. Just want to clarify
He mentions a couple times it’s a 2.8
I have a 3.6 vr6. Having a hard time finding performance parts. Help?
Sameee bro
Hgp turbo in Germany
That's it? $12K. Try $40K for my build and it keeps going up.
Hey bro, I know the vids a bit old but I need a lil help here from someone that obviously knows what they’re doing.
I’ve got a ‘03 GTI with a 2.8L 24V VR6 with a little over 114k miles. Seen a lot of stuff about being able to run in the 500’s for horsepower on a completely stock motor with just a head spacer safely. But I’ve seen the head spacer is mainly for turbo builds.
I don’t have the spare cash to add a turbo but would like some extra power. Is it safe for me to get a head spacer installed and then tune it for daily driving? As in pump gas 93.
Or would it be best to just tune it with no head spacer for daily driving? And what horsepower figure should I aim for on a tune that’s completely safe on a full stock motor and transmission?
I know you’re no professional but opinions from someone who’s done a lot with their car are better than scouring through old builds with old info from people who say this or that without any real proof.
The head spacer is to lower compression for boost so if you're not turbo charging it it's best to stay stock compression. You will lose power NA with a head spacer even if you tune for it. For NA and extra power, you're not going to gain a whole lot but you can do cams and a tune. It'll add about 25hp with both mods. Check out CO motorsports where they showed off a full 3.2 NA Audi TT build going from a unitronic to a united motorsports tune.
@@thirdgeargrind8033 dope okay, thanks for letting me know and thanks for giving me a reference to watch too 👍
SO, basically.... LS swap my Vr6 957 cayenne, ok..
You are living in a land of plenty . Your government is screwing poorer nations so you guys can do builds like that it is not a lot of money so stop complaining .
Yes, land of plenty where the expenses required for me to live eats up 80% of my monthly wages. Man, I really wish I could see that money you're talking about that was somehow plopped into my hands because the government screwed poor nations. With the price of fuel I can't even afford to drive this car as it costs $50 a day.
Why?
Guy. You spending too much money
bro I spent like 5k putting a vr6 into a beetle a shop woulda charge 10k
you telling me now im gonna put another 10k into a turbo kit
im just gonna 1.8t swap my mk2 instead lol vw problems
