    Put the K&N in today, very impressed. It's no R32, but the GL is a tidy little performer, pulls solidly and does it's job quite adequately. I wouldn't be keen for the VR6's fuel and maintainence bills, but that's not to say i wouldn't like the power on tap...

    thats not to say you couldnt get similar power out of the 2L!!! and it;d be lighter...

    get some extractors and grind the cam to an aggressive angle and chip it

    Does anyone have a complete set of grind specs for 8v cam? Or is it better to get a cam and chip combo. I know they can get pretty pricey... Oh and who does extractors in Australia? I know Remus do fantastic exhaust systems (i am starting to save, slowly) but i haven't found any header suppliers who look after our little beasts!

    mate i think its better that you get your cam custom ground (just buy a stock camshaft and find a place that grinds cams) and a exhaust system that is custom made from top to tail
    but do all this before getting the chip!
