Rolling road results:
rpm               bhp                torque
2000             47                  123  
2500             68                  143
3000             89                  156
3500             100                150
4000             127                167
4500             145                169
5000             155                163
5500             170                162
6000             175                153

This is bhp and torque at the wheels, + 15% for engine figures. So around 200hp at the flywheel, and monster torque from 2000rpm, ;D.

I'm guessing it's a 16V turbo ;)

What did you do to prep the engine to take such high boost? I am doing a turbo conversion to the original 8Vmk1 engine so any advice you could give me would be great m8.

golfvr6, yes it is v fast (when the wheels stop spinning ;D)
Rich, GTI international, what dates and where?.
Lewis, standard cams, lowered comp down to 8.75 to1 and some fuel inj mods.
I had a turbo on my 1800 8v eng, just fitted new big end shells, stripped, cleaned and rebuilt the head, stuck a diesel turbo exhaust manifold and turbo on and boosted it to 8psi with no engine mods. Set the timing and put a extra injector on for fuel on boost. Never dino'ed it, felt like around 150hp and lots of torque.
What are your plans?.
