you've got supercharged power all the way through the rev range..
also, VW never made a Mk1 with any mor than 8 valves, I just feel VW 'would' have put the G60 in a Mk1 originally if they'd come up with the idea a little earlier :wink:

G60s are good for about 240ps before a bigger charger is needed. Anyone driven a 240ps engined MK1? Was it fast?

Just because you have more power doesn't nesseceraly mean you go faster! What's power without control?
People don't seem to realise that a gearbox can be the key to rapid times. If you've got a 300ps engine and wheel spin in 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th will it be quicker than a 260ps engined car with well selected gear ratios and a LSD?

my last car was reliable and had a really strong engine.. it's just not fun though, I want an engine that needs care and lots of attention!
will have to see how my friends rado turns out.. he says he's hoping for over 300Bhp from the G60 8O he wouldn't say what's been done but I didn't really think it was possible for that much power?? If he's right, and it's not that much more unreliable…. I'll be copying his engine to show you 225Bhp 20vT boys that the old G60 can still outdo ya :wink:

even so 240Bhp is still more than enough, does your mate have any issues with it?

still even rebuilding every year I'd still have one, maybe a little nieve I know but that's the engine i want.
ops: don't know much about the ol' supercharger though (apart from the basics of how it works).. is a charger rebuild something that has to be done by the pro's? does it cost mega money?
