Suggestion
I made a conversion harness using the stock ECU connector that I unsoldered from the ECU board and a 32pins connector going in the MS so I could keep the factory stock engine harness and dont lose time rewiring everything.

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Here�s an article about a Turbo with a turbocharged VR6 swap. It�s a bit over the top but interesting.

Very cool, thanks for sharing. This guy is right down the road from me provided he�s still in Lewisburg, might just have to seek him out to check out this beast.
I once had a GTI with VR6. Had K&N large p-cone (air box removed), ECU flash and Magnaflow exhaust (amongst many other things). It made some nice sounds but was heavy in the front end. It was a fun car though, I wanted a Corrado in those days but couldn't find a good example
Cheap !! It was also the base engine on the Porsche Cayenne . I see them on E-bay all the time for ridiculous low prices. Running 3.2's with warranty for $1000-$1500 bucks.
You could do like some of the Chevy guys around here do, They take a used LS motor, slap some E-bay turbo on it, make 600-800hp. Then if the motor blows, go buy another $600 LS engine, rinse, repeat !!!!
Can you use the factory VR6 Harness? cause I could see programming and the wiring to be a challenge..
A good stand alone is north of 2500 except for a couple of the really cheap / low capability options.
For engine management I think a megasquirt standalone could do it.
Back in the days I used it on my 4age 16v engine with ITBs, COP and a VR sensor to trigger the ignition.
I made a conversion harness using the stock ECU connector that I unsoldered from the ECU board and a 32pins connector going in the MS so I could keep the factory stock engine harness and dont lose time rewiring everything. It was plug and play.
