A quick background on my Bora; I bought it a few years ago because I needed a cheap daily and I wanted something a little different. I was able to pick up the mack daddy V6 4Motion sport (yes, Sport!) and it is a really surprising little car. I love my Bora! I drive two hundred kay's per week to and from work and take my daughters to school pre-school most mornings. The value of the car has dropped off so badly that it is now simply not worth selling. I have spent a bit doing things like brakes, bilsteins and other bits n pieces to make it a better daily, but nothing serious. Until now (except not now, in the future.) I have to be up front, I don't know much about turbos or induction. I know the basics but thats about it, hence why I'm asking questions. The Bora is 150kw in its stock form and my car now has over 220k's (believe it or not, it feels so tight still, not a single thing feels aged.) I am thinking about either a turbo kit or (ready ... wait for it ... ) a supercharger kit. Leaning towards a blown VR6 because, frankly, I've never had a blown car. But, the blower option seems to be much more expensive. Money is not in abundance in my household. A 6 psi supercharger kit is super expensive at around $5k because a new ecu (or flash) is needed. A turbo kit is much cheaper at around $1800 delivered (check this eBay one) and would probably give me a bit more power without needing to touch my ecu. The thing is, I'm wondering if I could modify my manifold and use a s2 R33 Gtst turbo (ceramic) and maybe even an R33 side mount cooler? If I dont need to touch my ecu and considering how tight my funds are (seriously tight) is that a possibility? Maybe I'm missing something though? What do we need to do with the oil lines? Considering I have some seriously nice B8 Bilsteins in the car and all new front bushes, I want to give it some more poke so I can hit some track days again and still drive 30k's each way to work. Ending my rant here.... Drank almost a full bottle of red writing this.

So, Tanner Foust has handed back the keys for his Fords and Nissans and is now drifting in a Volkswagen Passat. Huh? Its a RWD, 700HP (900HP on nitrous) animal. I'd love to know whose engine or drivetrain is being used as this is the first V8 and RWD Passat that I've ever seen (I'm upset they didnt use the W8). And heres the video. What do you think?

What do you think? Those seats!!! More info at the link below. Images sourced from Autoblog.

I'm assuming thats just a boost controller but whatever, 287 is pretty good. The R makes 292. Looks like some stance on the wheels and an 'Edition 25' style decal at the bottom. I'm a fan. It looks awesome. More on Autoblog.

So, theres a few of us here who no longer have Japanese vehicles, so, lets see what you've got! I have two VWs; a B6 TDI Passat wagon and a Bora 4Motion V6. Both cars are very cool, I love them! The Bora has a surprising amount of squirt (150kw) and handles really well (I put Bilstein B8's in it.) The Passat is less lumber-like that I thought it would be. Its still very 'soft' in how it goes about things, but thats what makes it a perfect family car. Its totally unexciting. I'll post pics soon.

Autoblog is stating that VW is going to put the Golf R 400 into production. That is an AWD Golf R with 400HP from the factory. Pics are below. I'm not sure I like the green line and I definitely don't like the exhaust tips. What do you think? God I love these wheels. Theres more info on Car Mag.

Anti Lift Kit for my 4Motion Bora Hi Folks, My 4Motion Bora understeers horrendously. Particularly when accelerating (ie, just left the lights, turning left). It feels shit. It has a factory rear sway bar and I can get a bigger one but now I'm wondering if a better bang-for-buck option would be to put an Anti Lift Kit in ? I've no experiences with these, I don't know how good they are but I can get a Powerflex kit for about $160. Thanks for any input.
