^ ya speaks for its self... $$$ for $$$ 1.8t all the way, more power for less money. w/ the same amount of money put into both the 1.8t will come out on top, hands down. its turbo, unless you turbo the vr6 its not going to be faster than a moded 1.8t, and if you did turbo the vr6 that same about of money in a 1.8t would still make it even faster.

base price of a GTI vr6 is around 22k the GTI 1.8t is 19k. 3k $$$ differerance, for lighter weight and -20hp. So you take that 3k difference in sticker price buy every bolt on including chip, and you will probably be around 249hp. Now that both cars are at 22k price you take another 4k and dump into both to make the vr6 turbo, now you have 4k spare to build the 1.8t. vr6 still has no chance.
