RLR  has been successfully turbocharging some of the fastest  Volkswagen engines since 1987. We pioneered the use of the Holley 4  barrel carburetor and made it a industry performance standard for over  30 + years.

With our extensive background and knowledge, let us lead you through  the process of selecting a turbo and building you the most efficient and  trouble free turbo system for your money.
Complete intake runner and plenum designs available with a variety of  exhaust sizes and configurations for daily driver street turbos or full  drag racing applications.

Made to order.

  RLR/Strange 7075 Chevy Rear Disc Brakes are lightweight and made with the highest quality materials and components that are available on the market today. Giving you safety and stopping  power you need whether on the street or strip.  A lightweight braking  system can shed as much as a tenth of a second off your time slip due to  less rotating weight.  Forged one piece steel Pro Race rotors offer  serious weight reduction, strength and longevity.  Radial slots rather  than cross drilled round holes, allow for a controlled rotor collapse  with no distortion and scrape the brake pads clean to eliminate brake  dust.  To increase safety and high mph stopping power all RLR/Strange  Rear Brake Kits are supplied with Strange 4-piston rear calipers. 

Pat Downs is known worldwide for his cylinder head knowledge. Since  1986, Pat has developed or been a part of developing multiple VW  cylinder heads. These cylinder heads have set records in many racing  sanctions including the ECPRA where Pat holds the current Pro Stock E.T  record @5.90 seconds.

The biggest challenge on a VW engine is selecting the appropriate  cylinder head for the intended use of the car. Port flow, port velocity,  and cooling capability all come into play when selecting the correct  cylinder head. With Pat’s knowledge of port design, he can help  customers make the correct decision on the appropriate cylinder head for  their engine. 

We use only the best equipment at PDP from our Sunnen VGS-20 seat and guide machine to our Superflow-600 flow bench. 

Trust in PDP to help with your cylinder head purchase, we won’t let you down.
