Considering that these cars dyno at about 135 hp to the wheels stock, IMHO 65 whp for a grand isn't too bad.

Tons of people are not impressed by the g60 motor, in a way it's too bad - very understandable though, there's *very* little information about them available, yet there's an incredibly fanatical almost underground following for them. They're potent in the right hands, but take some special knowledge and care that the average VW guy wouldn't have.

hey bro thanks for the info, its glad to see some people come on here not to troll and throw around extreme numbers, but to offer some useful insight... im always up to learn more about the opposition

and 65whp is pretty damn good

yea autotech has some kits for it, i wonder if these come with the gaskets for the cam install though, and i really wouldnt leave a stock valvetrain with upgraded cam
