@Trashjack101 vw paradise in corona california. they do excellent work and u can get a good 20k miles out of an engine from them if u take care of it. but if u want a big engine to be lasting such a long time u never get to race the shit out of it so u never have much fun. might as well buy a big beast of a motor and then have a 1600 laying around to drive on the street or to drive when something breaks on the big motor.
@slammedandshiny:
Built the engine myself, I'm the shop manager at Archway Import Auto in St.louis. Its not a daily driver build with the high compression, and over .600" lift at the valves... But it makes big power! I do drive it on the street though, to and from work, cruises on the highway nicely.

Made the header/turbo system myself from scratch so I could fit a 4 barrel under the decklid. Its not on for the dyno session but I do run a decklid with standard off the shelf decklid stand offs with no mods to the decklid or body to clear anything. I wasn't much for all the off the shelf systems for a big draw through setup that put everything hanging out behind the engine so there's no way to run a decklid. Also runs cooler with the decklid installed believe it or not!

I was pretty happy, It woudl have done better if the clutch wasn't starting to slip. It made 260 at the wheels with only 10lbs
With water meth and 18-20lbs I'm hoping to be over 400 at the wheels... I doubt I'll be able to keep it in a straight line but it will be nice for bragging rights!
