RE: 16v turbo [Motortechnik]

["Ian Pitts" <Ian_Pitts@g1.com>]

I got completely destroyed on 97 North in MD by that car. I've been wondering
what it had under the hood until now. We were both just cruising along (I in my
'93 Passat GLX) and he looks over, I look back and we nail it. HE SPUN THE
FRIGGIN' FRONT TIRES AT 65!!! I'm not kidding! I tried to keep up.. my car was
floored and he just walked away. He let me catch up again only to spank me even
harder the second time. It sounded sweet too! Not riced out at all.. beautiful
yellow spray, no stickers, just lowered with rims and an in-cognito exhaust.

I don't think even my friends heavily modded XR4Ti could keep up and that
thing's a beast! (2.3l, 17psi, TBird SCoupe Intercooler, Cold-Air intake, SCoupe
Vane Air Meter, 3" Down pipe, 3" Exhaust, etc.)

On a side note, my friend's other car would probably spank it. Porsche 924 Turbo
w/ Chevy 331ci (327 overbored) putting out 450 dynoed HP (Crank) at 7200RPM...
Can't wait until it's done.
