when it tips the scales at just about a ton w/ full inerior and you can swap in a 2.0 DOHC engine without buying a diff trans, engine mounts, and linkge, it is far from a waste of time.


and yes, those are rado wheels on the hatch

Not bad...not bad at all. I like those vw's but just get the dual round headlight setup and you'll be set with looks. Just don't all euro with the super deepdish wheels and all that junk.

single rounds will go on eventually, and the same wheels that are on my hatch except widened

I wouldn't bother. Stock CIS will handle 160 whp or so, he can take a fuel distributor off an Audi 5000, block off the fifth injector line, and be good to 220 whp. Given the needs of a HMTer - or a 2000 lb car - he'll be REAL happy.

I know a few of the VW guys switch on the cold start valve via a Hobbs switch, too. Might want to shim the distributor as well.

it will support that power level but it wont be very smooth. boost and VW CIS dont like each other too much.
if he wants to boost using a CIS system get one fomr a volvo

be aware of the "self machining" diff the like to eat its way out of the tranny.

Toss some Boge's and Neuspeed Race springs, go autoxing for cheap!
