cross-flow vs g60



"My question is why do you want hobble yourself with an 8V? "

This just makes my ass tired!
It is a wonder that the Scirocco even survived for 11 years with only the pathetic 8V! Thank God that VW finally put a decent engine in the Scirocco so the 16V guys would have something to look down their noses at!

  Considering there isn't a single swinging dick on the Kotex that isn't
  doing a crossflow turbo I think you will be in "good" company. There are
  more than a couple companies out there making "kits" for the xflo.

  My question is why do you want hobble yourself with an 8V?

  A cross-flow is consider a nice head for a turbo because the intake is
  on 
  the front of the motor (like a 16V) which a) keeps the intake air
  cooler, 
  and b) keeps the intake manifold the hell out of the way of the exhaust 
  manifold/turbo and associated plumbing.

  The x-flow is a great head for those who are doing "cheap-ass" turbo
  swaps 
  using turbo-diesel manifolds, because the TD manifold can be used
  without 
  modification when the intake is on the front of the engine.

  I've consider a cheap-ass turbo swap (as I have no shortage of the tubro

  bits) but I lack the x-flow head.  Oh well, some day.

  elaborate. Stock head vs stock head, is the x-flow better for boost?
