    Blown 350 GTI!

    Well, I've tired of the 1.8 turbo, so I slung a GMC 6-71 blower onto a 350 and neatly squeezed that between the strut towers of the GTI and I'm pretty happy with it.

    I'll be even happier when I work out what sort of drivetrain can deal with this rather radical departure in power plant and how it it is remotley possible to fit.

    But that's all by the by - when you have a nicely built blown 350 that sings a beautiful song it's enough to sit and listen for the moment.

    People, I'm being silly!

    But I do like the idea of a blown V8 GTI.

    Now that would be breath taking. I just happen to have a turbo charged LS1 sitting in a commodore at the moment doing nothing since my father is unable to drive.


    Hmmm 980nM of torque and 580kW. Who said Mk4's were slow. Bwahahahah

    Could do this in an Mk4 fairly easily (Use the floorplan of an S3 for tailshaft space)

    *hint hint*
