it is a 16vG60, but a home-made one using a modified audi rs2 inlet. the limited has an "over the top" kind of inlet the same as standard 16v's, but with the throttle body on the right hand side as per the 16v scirroco which was never released here. the ltd also has the alternator at the back of the engine, rather than under the charger. that car belongs to gtijoe's mate john mitchell, who has been no end of help to me.. although his engine bay wont look like that next year :grin:

My charger will be going off to bahn brenner as soon as it is up and running.
The other one I had done by them was great, I would not suggest you do down there twin screw route though unless you are going to be spending lots of money, you can't just replace the G60 with it you need to lower compression, change pistons etc...
