Re: 1002 hp Beetle

nah, I haven't registered it yet. I think the GHL cai looks the best becuase it looks near factory ('cept the bracket).

and if you read the source for the pic, it has turbolexux/pics/97conversion as part of the file name.

i wave the

flag on this one.

that IC is way too small. and to fit a 2JZ in it the engine will be in the middle of the car pretty much. it can be done, dont get me wrong, anything can be done with the right amount of time and welding, but i am highly doubtful of it.

the posts about them adding "200#s of steel to the frame to strengthen it" was hilarious. the car is unibody....

Good catch. Also the motor in that pic is running a dual stock MAF setup. The highest I heard of anyone running on that type of setup is around 700rwhp I believe. So not only is that not his motor the setup is not capable of 1000rwhp.

people do repaint their cars. The fact that those are not vw strut towers is more proof than the color of the paint....
