vwtechx 91 VR6 GTI*DYNO RESULTS ADDED* - TriStateTuners.com :: Home of Tristate Auto Enthusiast

Quick run down of the car, I traded my 87 VR6 jetta for the 91 GTI. I recieved the GTi in complete shambles. I had 2 months to build the GTI and get my jetta to its new owner. On to the pics

When I got it

Fitting the corrado dash and column

Body work in the bay

Engine going in

6 weeks after start

Drove the car like that for the rest of 2010. Over the winter I realized that the N/A VR6 just wasnt quite enough for me. So I dug out all the turbo stuff I collected for my corrado and started ripping.

A quick video trying out the Gtech

Got tired of looking at the sportmaxxs so I finished polishing my porsche phonedials and mounted them up

Thats how the car sits right now. Just enjoying driving it and over winter Id like to add and change a few things. The link to my photo album is below for anyone who wants to take a look at all the pics I have of the build and its transformations

impressive for sure... Ive driven a GTI VR6 24v with simply a K&N filter / magnaflow exhaust / tune. I thought it was a fun fast car for sure ( the VR6 roar is also quite nice )... I couldnt even imagine what it would feel / sound like with a turbo ! especially in a " street legal go kart " lol

Thanks. It can be a handful. Right now I'm running an open dump tube so it's hard to hear anything but that. That's one of the changes for winter time.

Holy hell this is an awesome build...i love dubs and a vrT is hard to beat in any format! Do you own/work at a shop because that was quite a turnaround you had in just 6 weeks with the car

**TROLL** · 08-14-2011, 03:11 PM

very nice! I love MK2's and its tough to find them in good condition. Did you do all the body work yourself too? I do pretty much all of my own work but don't know body work so I have to take it somewhere for that unfortunately.

caldwell · 08-14-2011, 03:23 PM

any idea what kinda of power its making currently ? ? its gotta be fun fast !

I did the body work in the bay with welding help from my buddy. I am by no means a body guy. I hated every minute of that part.

Thanks for the kind words guys!

Nice. I have been looking for a rallye, but can't find any.
