THe only one who has come close to building a turbo'd VR and is in the stages of building his drag VR6 is Seb (Bug Racer) speaks to him with the size of the turbo its freakin huge!

check on the Clubgti forum, there is a few VR6 turbos been built on there too

Supercharger...

There are off the shelf kits which will put out more power than you can reasonable use on the road. Having said that from what I have read Turbo can do bigger power figures...

I'd be more inclined to supercharge also, seems a lot less hassle and as Aaron says plenty of grunt.

You dont need to do anything to the engine, you should be able to run about 9 pounds on standard compression ratio.

You can always use a decompression head spacer and run big boost, but the are very strong motors

A turbocharger will ALWAYS give higher peak power figures comparably, but you don't have the same throttle response or progressive power output.

Go blower!

I would supercharge it aswell. A good, reliable, engineerable turbo conversation is well over $10,000 at any reasonable workshop.

You ideally need the intercooled blower kit in the Aussie climate, though, which bumps the price up a lot. The Aquamist kit is another option too, and it's pretty cheap.

This isn't the place to be asking anyway. No one on here has one that's running, whereas there are thousands on Vortex, along with all the info

i would go with the supercharger before turbo. but that might just be because everyone and his brother has a turbo car these days.

i like the feel of the way an NA car delivers its power which is probably why i'd go superchager because its very linear like an NA car. bu then again if i went turbo i wouldnt give a crap cos boost is freakin wicked no matter how its delivered!

but if i had them money it would defs be a blower over a turbo, hands down

Or this always a twin charger setup...
