The gearkit that Quaife released is a Dog engagement kit. It's a full on race kit. You don't want to use a dog kit on a street car. That's why it's 5K. A synchro kit would be alot less. closer to 3K. That price is more in line with the other gear kits Quaife carries. There is no such thing as a N/A VR6 making 300HP. It doesn't exist. My car makes just about 200@ the wheels and it's close to tapped out for the 2.8L. I have a friend with a 3.1L Corrado VR6 and it makes in the high 220's at the wheels. My GTI is still faster then my SVT though. Even with my SVT making almost 20 hp more. It's nice to have that ineffecent 2V head in a smaller car. It's just a matter of 500LBS less, and a hell of alot more aftermarket support. The one thing the VR6 does have that the Duratech does not is torque. But theres also more displacement. The VR6 head is no good over 7K rpm. This isn't a VW fourm though. Even though my Vw has not crapped 3 motors, 2 trannys, and has been to the repair shop 500 less times then my Ford, I still love them equally. I have a sick dedication to my SVT.

98 SVT E0, Black 3.0L, y- pipe, open air filter, ported lower intake manifold, Quaife diff. 220hp at the wheels through the stock exhaust and manifolds. Blown motor, help on the way...... 97 GTI VR6, Green lots of mods, 205 hp at the wheels
