I can't remember all the mods that he's got on it there's simply too many...
- Cold air intake, K04 turbo w/ race wastegate & blow-off valve
- Race manifold & downpipe, exhaust
- Custom ECU burn
- HKS Turbo Timer
- The best suspension that Bilstein makes...
- Everything that Neuspeed makes for VW...
- The list goes on.
Last time I drove it, I was spinning the 235 rubber in 3rd gear when the boost was coming on. We dynoed it at 275lb/ft of torque and nearly 300hp.
On the highway it pulls more from 40mph to 80mph in 5th than my SVT in 3rd. Very embarassing.
Then again, throw the same amount of $$ at a 'tour and you'll be passing him. Only difference: nothing breaks on his car, even with that kinda power. All the 3.0 or s/c tours have had failures of some sort. That's over-engineering against cost-cutting I guess.
