Claiming that the piston rings on these motors go out fast is bullshit imo. Sounds like people just arent getting the cars tuned which is almost always the case.

I have seen NGP VR-T rallye and was there for the first dyno pull. The car was very impressive. The first dyno run they made they snapped 2 axels. I am not a vw guy but i do know that they have not had any issues with that particular setup. Although it is daily driven by any means. And if your wondering how i was there, I am a friend to Steve B. He also has a G60 black rallye and lives in chesapeake. he has known all the guys from ngp since before it was even NGP.

I've seen one pull and man i would love to turbo anything vr6, you won't spend alot of money to make it descently fast either.... as far as reliability its as good as any other car out there that puts down that kinda of power that you guys mentioned earlier.. Some of you guys are talking bout like other car brands last longer with that kind of power you would only think so.....

If there's anybody that knows about vw's its this guy........So if you have any questions ask him because i can vouch that he does great things with corrados.....

Sometimes i think that people just don't install stuff the right way unless they specialize on a specific brand of car.....
