Default Serious Questions! Please help me out

Im doing a build with a 2004 VR6 24v. and I'm in need of a new crank
someone told me to put the r32 crank in so I've been doing research to see if its possible.. and i cant come up with anything...

So if you know anything about this please let me know.
I would also like to know what's the differences of the vr and the r, since the blocks are or are closely the same..

any help will be appreciated

I think that the r32 crank may be forged and the VR is not, i have seen kits like this one that use it for a Storker Kit like the Forged TDI crank is used in the 1.8T Stroker kits:

Audi and Volkswagen Full Race Stroker Kits


From what i know just a R32 crank would not work.

Borrowed content:
"adding the r32 crank to the stock pistons and rods would cause the pistons to rise 2.8mm over the height of the block"
