Haha, no worries mate you didn't come across as rude at all. I detected slight banter!

It's a lovely looking car anyway. Best colour. I've always got respect for an R32, and probably more for an owner of an R32... bigger bills and all that. They do sound incredible, and an easy 400bhp at low boost with a turbo kit, going through all the wheels.

It's true that you can make a GTI/Ed30 'faster' than an R32 for not much money. But if you wanted to, you could turn the tables in a big way.

HPA have done some good stuff with the 3.2 and 3.6 engines. 700bhp in a mk6.

Thanks mate.... the plan is to go with a TVS engineering stage 3 supercharger... which is from 385-425 HP.... I have seen the HPA stuff.... its monster crazy...but i have a supercharger in my head and thats the plan...

That'll be a beast and a half. Although it's worth noting a lot of VR supercharger builds end up swapping for turbo(s) further down the line for whatever reason.

Lag won't be a problem with a turbo or twin turbo kit if 400bhp is your goal. You've got displacement on your side.

What's made you decide on the supercharger rather than turbo? I'm genuinely interested, rather than simply saying "turbo is better", which seems to be the consensus. I want to learn a bit more about 6 cylinder stuff.

I'd like my next project to be 6-cyl turbo and awd. So I'll be following your progress.

I like the fact that the supercharger kit is a easier install than the turbo kit... *less piping extra* plus normally the day to day use of a 400hp + supercharged motor is a little more user friendly than a mad high boost turbo kit of the same power...at the end of the day its a personal thing for sure... i know the supercharger is less effective than the Turbo...

Some serious stopping power there, nothing beats the noise of the 32 lump, nice motor bud

Beautiful car - always liked the R32 in both mk4 and mk5 versions. Looks great with the new wheel and brakes!

Just one question - does the car have wider / flared front wings in pictures 3 & 4 on the first page?
