I know theres a guy that has a jetta he takes to track days, its a 1.8 16v with twin 40's and reprofiled cams, fully lightned and balanced and he said he's had that tested on a rolling road at 180 @ the flywheel

Ive seen that jetta a CC as well.

There was a red primered caddy as well with a similar engine.

yeah simo, you not thought of changing you whole engine for a 16v then putting it on 40's wont be much more effort
