Is 240hp good for a 8v mk1?

Yes you can get that figure.

My dad worked for a German guy who was retrenched at the VW Factory in Germany and he had a 400bhp 8v mk1 N/A.

Nah man, i think what he ment was V8 not 8v.
Even a 355 chev would need a touch of work to make 400hp at the wheels.

yes it did need a touch of work but it was N/A. It took them some time to build it but it got there. NO TURBO, NO NOS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

hahahaha i love that this is still going i'll just have to buy it, get him to do his darndest and chuck it on the dyno having no idea what all this smack means, allows me to sit back and chuckle at the squabble this is creating!!

the joke will be on you when you find out you have a 115bhp engine not a 240 lol

Just to point it out mate, you're the one who looks like a tool with that last comment
I dont realy see the squabble and i dont see whos arguing either. It a common debate on just about every VW forum when someone talks about ridiculous power figures

Im not sure what you are talking about either when you say velly argues with everyone about everything.

[Jarred]

he's not arguing. He's agreeing with everyone else!

We just don't want you to get hoodwinked/ripped off.
