MK4 24V VR6 Turbo with Garrett GTW 62mm on the dyno

Not your regular MK4 20th Anniversary.... this one has a 24V VR Turbo under the hood. We hammer out a couple issues and see if we can squeeze a bit more power on our crappy 91oct fuel. This one is running United Motorsport 630cc file. Enjoy the Wookie noises.

Who doesn't love a VR?!?!? As a former owner of multiple built VR's, some N.A., some F.I. they just NEVER get old. Great numbers on a stock internals motor. Sounds nice and rowdy just like a VR should. I had to connect my bluetooth speaker to hear the wookie in all its goodness. It's cool that the owner decided to put the 24v back in. So much cooler than an average 20th with a 1.8t. Glad he dumped the bags for some coilovers. The track> hardparking. Bunch of people have used the stock manifolds for a turbo, and it does work quite well. Throw a headspacer in there and you are good to go with limited work, and this build just proves that. This was a welcome video, and I throughly enjoyed it! Thank you. 👍👍

It's got to do with MAF placement, too close to bends, too close to filter, too close to DV recirc, too close to turbo, major reduction in piping size before/after filter. It can be lots of things. Buy a couple different couplers and test whatever's suspect.
