The new baby... (well not really that new...)

[Stephy]

There already was a hot dog in it? (i was confused too - thought someone had put it there but it had VW stamped all over it). Just had the suitcase muffler cut out and a piece of pipe welded in. I am pleasantly surprised - get some pretty awesome poppage too.

[Stephy]

I'll let the pictures tell the story...








This is standard running a Pod & the middle muffler has been deleted... Is this to be expected out all VRs? Or has someone had a bit of a tinker with it before it came to me?

[Water Boy]

Wow that is good power!

Im sure Ed gave it a little tickle while he had the head off etc...

[proj]

according to the manual, they have 110kw... so that is definately making good power!

[Stephy]

I'll have to check with young ed then... by the way he is chasing a tow pack for his mk3.
Is that 110kw at the fly? shouldn't that have like 85-90 at the wheels then?
I'm super stoked with that result!

[Ben J]

brand new and stock they should have had 128 at the fly i believe

[TazzyVR6]

Yes 128kW and 230 or 240Nm standard at the fly. This was definately the suprise of the night, I was only expecting 85-90kW! You'll just have to drive around everywhere with the bonnet off steph! That engine would be awesome in the Mk1

[Stephy]

Heh - already looking into a bonnet vent to put above my fully sick pod. Haha! Would love to put the engine in the MK1, but I couldn't bring myself to do it - the trailer would be bigger than the car!
Did you get any pics of yours on there Alex?

[TazzyVR6]

Ha, a big rex style bonnet scoop?! No I didn't get any pics of mine. Not to worry though, it'll be on there again in 2-3 months so I'll get some then when it's making a bit more power

[Stephy]

Ha! I don't think i could put a massive scoop on there... Just a little vent - just need to pick one now!
