Re: more vortex retardation
The only VW's worth anything were made before 71. Ghia verts are badass, split window bugs are awesome, there are a few more "unique" VW's too that are cool.

While I agree that the 1.8t isn't that great (my gf wanted a passat and after researching the oil sludge problem I refused to buy her one) I still think that guy deserves props for being innovative. I think with some tweeks to his design (runners meeting in firing order, shorter runners, larger plenum, one tb) that design has potential. If someone did something like that on a honda here you guys would be screaming FRONT PAGE... Just sayin

Re: more vortex retardation
well its not as retarded as the twin-throttle-body-sidewinder-no-plenum faggotry, in theory it would work better then its equivalent in aluminum because fiberglass wont heatsoak like aluminum but im sure its going on a slow faggot 110hp all motor car so it wont matter.
