I know asked before but what sort of mods can I do with my VR, does revo make upgrades for it and if so how much. I want my wagon to go a little faster. so besides a turbo waht upgrades should I have for a better sound and more HP. And how much are such upgrades? i'm going to look online tonight. I want new exhaust and a downpipe but not sure what else. I'd love to do a turbo but can't afford it right now. So I'm looking for more economical.

Thanks for those John, I think I'll start with exhaust and cold air intake, then a chip. I want to Turbo it but down the road.

you could do mods like this white jetta in billings he straight raped my vr at the track beat me by a full second and a half. he has stock exhaust but he has a short shifter, cams, cam gears, pflo intake, chip, and a ported and polished head. i mean he spent like 1500 on all of it but the difference was insane right off the line he started pullin slowly and i could never catch back up. my car is stock besides intake, and suitcase muffler removed. that might be something to think about.

Unfourtunately, Revo does not offer chip tuning program for the VR6, but I know there are chip available on the market for them. I personally have a Neuspeed P-Chip, and I have had that installed for about 10 years, and I have not had a problem with it. I think I paid like $89.00 for it, but I also remember it was on special at that time. I am sure you can pay a bit more for a GIAC or something like that and get more gains, but at that time, i couldn't beat the price! An intake and exhaust system will ehlp out some for sure, but you definitely reach a point of dimishing returns when modding a VR6.
