I friend of mine is looking for a GTi and he was wondering what motor will be better for mods, the 1.8t or the vr6 as far as bolt on mods what motor will respond better from them?

The 1.8T responds better to simple bolt-ons and there are more available. I have the VR6 and it's a great motor and a bit better off the line, but not too mod friendly besides intake and exhaust, and maybe a chip (if he wants to risk voiding the warranty).

If he's planning on a lot of motor work though, go with the VR6 and a supercharger.

Just a note: a friend of mine has a 1.8T Passat that can beat Vipers all day long :D
