Corrado Tuning

"Corrado Tuning"

The Corrado could be described as a coupe version of the Jetta but it is really a car in its own right. It was designed purely as a fun car and this is reflected in the engine choices on offer.

We start off with the frankly underpowered 1.8 which became a credible engine when it was supercharged in the form of the G60. There was a 2.0 engine also which did a reasonable job but the 160bhp 1.8 Supercharged engine would still be a better choice for a Corrado tuning project.

The top of the range included the VR6 engines which sound absolutely awesome at full throttle. Depending on the country of origin you had a 2.8 or a 2.9 VR6 block to choose from. In VR6 form the engine puts down around 188bhp.

Handling is not something a Corrado owner needs to worry about with a fantasticly well sorted suspension package.

Many owners with the 1.8 NASP or 2.0 NASP engines look to do an engine swap to either the 1.8 Supercharged or the VR6. The latter will give the best power gains from the swap but with further modifcations the supercharged version has a little more to offer.

Breathing mods including an induction kit, fast road cam, FSE boost valve and sports exhaust will increase both the power output and the enjoyment you get from the engine.
