I came in expecting to see a Skyline. I hear R32 and always think Skyline first because I'm not sure why people would talk about VW's. =p

Lol, I agree. Always think about the skyline when the R32 is mentioned... unless they say "VW r32"

Give me a break, the VR6 is a way better engine that MS3's platform, and the power gains on a boosted R32 are a bit more bulkier than MS. I'd much rather own an R32 over any MS out there... 240hp AWD 6-speed in a hatch? Honestly, it has to be the better car, and being the last model VW to come equipped the almighty VR6, i'd be more than stoked to own it. Not to mention with an exhaust w/ no cats - it sounds amazing. As for the TT vs. SC, the power is greater with the TT's, and as for SC'ing an R32... i've seen good results with them, but the TT's pull better numbers overall. R32's own MS's.

That's a pretty uneducated statement. The turbo or supercharger size has everything to do with how much power any kit can put down, it doesn't matter what type of setup it is. The only reason your friend is able to put 700HP down with his TT setup is because his turbos are large enough to support that number, and he has the money to drop into building the engine and trans to survive that much power. Most likely the SC kits out there are not big enough to support that type of power, but with enough money (like your friend has), anybody can piece together their own SC kit that can easily make the same power as a TT setup.

I know it's an older thread but no one mentioned this yet.

...R32's own MS's.

Not quite true.
