Valver is that 230hp at the fly wheel or at the wheels???

In regards to the supercharged golf waht ECU are you running??? Putting something like MoTeC will help you in the go fast area...

As for bigger valves:
8v yes can be done, usually take Audi 5E valves(same as mk1 1.8L Gti) and valve seats and get a professional to put them in. Bigger valves again are available but cost goes up greatly. And would probably have to be sourced from Europe.

That's at the flywheel

You would think the brakes wouldn't clear the 13's?

[Valver.]

Well they must do The BBS motorsport wheels have a stack of brake clearance from what I've read. There's also someone on ClubGTI with 305mm Brembos under Compomotive MOs My 280s hardly fit under my current 15s

What Audi cars have the 5E engines in them...or does anyone here have these valves sitting handy in there garage?

That's at the flywheel

So they have around 140hp at the wheels... wahoo that cooking...

Also do you know how much tourge and what they redline at....

Im hooked on these babies

That's actually around 200hp/150kW at the wheels

I'd guess around 210Nm of torque very high in the rev range. Most of the dyno vids of the Berg Cup 1600s show them revving to around 10,000rpm
