Re: more vortex retardation
bottom end of a factory turbo 1.8L that can take 500hp = not impressed when everything cost way to much and falls apart attached to it
dont even bother posting links to ---- on votex unless its for our entertainment, theres nothing very impressive to see. i never see fast VWs around, all i see is ones for sale people cant sell that they sunk way to much into and its still fucked and barely fast enough to keep up with some shitty honda thrown together by drunk immigrants.
i already know from experience a factory turbo vw is less reliable then a honda i turbo'd on the cheap.
ive turbo'd german cars, (bmw) because there not designed all retarded and fucked over, so im not predjudice against non-jap cars, but vw's are no fun. stupid lookin, break too much, too much $ for not enough performance, thats not the hmt way suckas.
and everyone ive met thats "into" vw is usually a retard, so that says somthing to i guess.

BTW, the GTR's 90,000 mile factory service log book lists seven slots for when transmission assemlbies are replaced and the new trans' serial number. Awesome example, dude.

Twin charging is meant for diesels that are built to handle that ----. Also, welcome to the literature I read to acquire most of my forced induction theory - non-VW diesel engineers of the teens and twenties.

There's nothing new or innovative to be done in the automotive realm except for learning enough to actually know what the ---- you are talking about, and make setups/parts that don't have major engineering flaws like, um, most anything VW's made for a couple decades.
Now, Flaco, this is the second post I've come across today where you've singled me out as being incorrect or wrong. I'm going to direct you towards my reply to you about what overhyped unreliable pieces of ---- Subarus are as a performance package - you need to shut the ---- up and listen when I speak about technical matters - because I can get really mean. If you need clarification or a detailed explanation as to why I say the things I do feel free to ask, but the overly emotional flamebait replies are getting a little old. Got that????????

Renualt introduced turbocharged direct injection in 1999
It wasn't for another 4 years that VW came to the table with the same thing.
