Hello to everybody!
I'm from Romania-Europe, I have a Corrado and I'm proud of it...
This is it!
CORRAPTOR: VW CORRADO VR6 TURBO SYNCRO
My Corrado was born like a G60 in 1989. Five years ago I kidnapped it (for a good price) from someone who didn't gave him enough attention. First step was some tuning at the engine: 68mm G-pulley, RS3 tuning chip, ISV block valve, overbored inlet manifold, raised fuel pressure, front mounted IC, polished and ported stage IV compressor, by-pass valve rerouting, RSII G-outlet. The car was very good… but not enough.
So, the second step was adapting an AWD SYNCRO system from a ‘91 Passat G60. Well, again, the car was very good good… but not enough.
So, the third step was to throw out (for a good price, of course) the G60 engine and to drop in a 2,8 VR6 engine (and a VR6 syncro system) and to rebuild it so resist for something nice… a Garrett! So, this is the list of all mods:

- engine is rebored to 3,0 litres,
- "Haltech E8" stand alone ECU,
- "Garrett" T60-1 turbo (A/R turbine=0,82; A/R compressor=0,70),
- "Wossner" forged pistons 8:1,
- "H"-4340 connecting rods,
- "ARP" headstuds, main studs and rod bolts,
- "Glyco" bearings,
- "Tial 50" BOV,
- "Tial” F 38 WG,
- "ATP2" turbo exhaust manifold,
- "HGP"-clone short intake manifold,
- 3 inch inox welded air pipes (matt black coated),
- "Samco" hoses,
- "Autobahn 88" intercooler (600x300x76),
- "Bosch" (044) fuel pump,
- "Delphi" 525 cmc injectors,
- "Schimmel Performance" highflow fuelrail,
- "SX" FPR,
- "SX" fuel filter,
- "NGK" race spark plug,
- "Racimex" 16 oil cooler,
- "Mocal" oil adapter with thermostat,
- "SPAL" double airfan,
- "BMC" air filter,
- "SRZ" oil catch-can tank,
- 3 inch double sided exhaust

Traction and wheelbase:
- SYNCRO (4x4) system from a 95'Golf VR6;
- "Sachs" clutch (Stage IV),
- "Schimmel Performance" flywheel (4,1 kg),
- "B M" short shifter.
- "Weitec" (KW) adjustable shock absorbers and adjustable coils (Hicon GT+Tx Series);
- "MAM" MT2 8Jx17" and "BBS" RC - Motorsport Edition 8Jx17" wheels ;
- "Marangoni" Zeta Linea 205/40/17 84W and "Toyo" Proxes 205/40/17 84W tyres ;
- "SCC" spacers: 40mm front axle and 70mm rear axle;
- "Powerflex" bushes;

Body:
- custom bodykit;
- Solar Red paint;
- "In.Pro" (angel eyes) frontlight;
- "APP" - xenon (7000K - short beam);
- "In.Pro" front fogs & signals;
- "FK" Lexus black tailights;
- single wiper;
- "FK" "Spacelook" front seats;
- "VEMS" double digital gauge: EGT, A/FR (wide band);
- "Stack" gauges: boost, oil temp;
- "OMP" "Strada" 3/4 pts seatbelts;
- "OMP" "Fast" steering wheel;
- double sided exhausters (2,5 inch);
- shaved doors and hood;

ICE
- "Valor" ITS 701W all-in-one DVD head unit;
- "Pioneer" GT X 4300, 750W 2-way amplifier;
- "Pioneer" DT 6300F, 600W 4-way amplifier;
- "Pioneer" 203 D2, 2x400W RMS subwoofers.
- "Alpine", 4x200W RMS - 3 way speakers

Now, with 1,2 bar boost, the car have 420 HP at cranck (360 HP @ Wheels) and 500 Nm (370 ft lbs) torque. Is a lot of power/torque for a syncro system! Usualy, this kind of AWD system doesn’t resist over 350 HP/400Nm, so I believe I’m a lucky guy (since now)!
Can't upload photos and dyno sheets!
