do you think the Saab would beat a stock VW Jetta?

[Rielcool]

Stock for stock and modded for modded the Saab should always win. The turbo on the 1.8t Volkswagen engine is simply too small. Even the low pressure turbo on the lower end Saabs (like mine) is enormous compared to the Volkswagen. In this video I was on 7.5psi of boost (stock boost!) and I managed to beat the modded Passat.

hourspower?

[Rielcool]

He said the VW was 240-250hp with GIAC chip.  I'm really doubting that, as my Stage III is supposed to have 250-270hp on 18psi boost, but in the videos I was only running about 8-10psi and still managed to walk away.
