Post by **VWJET00** » Apr Tue 01, 2008 8:32 am

i was just going to see if anyone knew if a 24v gli vr6 and the tranny would fit right into my car because i am looking to get a lesser mileage engine and why not upgrade right?

Not sure what car you have so its tough to say.
But you are talking about "upgrading" from a 12v VR6 to a 24v VR6 I wouldn't bother. You would be better off changing the cams in the 12v, IMHO.
Unless along with those extra 12 valves you also get an extra 400cc

It's just getting broken in. As long as you do the timing guides and chains (I think you said that was done already?) I say you will have very few problems. Joe's right too, and extra 12v will not do anything for you, but new cams, intake/exhaust and a chip would give you respectable gains.

BTW - I saw you called over the weekend. Wasn't avoiding...I don't usually keep my phone on me, and I have a couple of kids that keep me busy. Did you need something? If so it's best to post up here - your question will get answered faster, and the other guys are much more knowledgeable.
