that VW is awesome, but pricey though.
that engine should spool those 2 tiny turbo's easliy.
Just read they lowered the compression to 7.8:1
Seems kinda low...I would put it more at 8.5:1...that's why they have to rev it to spool those tiny turbo's.
Those engines are strong though...taking about 400 hp in stock form.

Damn but twelve is kinda low. I was waiting for the thing to take off at the end and have liftoff! I can't even remember what my car sounded like when it was boost but damn that sounded sweet. Do any of your turbos sound like that? Well I just it doesn't help when you have another turbo'd vr6 in your back seat :P

actually yeah, i'm shifting to 5th right when i cross 1/4 and this is with a 100-102 trap speed, so especially if you have a little higher traps, but in your case, you might only be in third with a 75 mph trap

There's no way I would run without a wirewall. Anybody else who scattered a motor knows what the schrapnel under the hood sounds like and there's no way I would want to be near a motor when it goes

Haha, well that was the impression I got when I first drove the 1/4 mile.

Guess my engine was just gay.
