Been working on the car and sorting out issues. New shifter parts, brake parts showed up from Pelican today. I haven't even driven the car yet with the stock 2.0 and I'm already thinking about how fun the car would be with more HP. I'm not into slow cars. LOL !!! As I said I have made good HP with a type one motor and the type four is new to me. What is the word on HP. I've seen reference to Raby's 2.9 and I have the Hot VWs performance mag with his 2270 build up in it. Give me the low down on Raby HP.

Thanks guys

You might also want to look at FAT Performance here on the left coast in SoCal -

http://fatperformance.com/home/?page_id=51

The owner Ron is easy to work with, happy to give a shop tour & will walk you thru what you need for what you want your T4 to do. All things that I hear Jake Raby has moved away from as he's going more to the newer Porsche waterboxer 6 motors.

Ron has long & extensive experience & many T4 Baja 500 & 1000 winners to his shop's credit.

Have Fun!

Jake might be interested to know he's "moved away" from type 4 engines. But if you say it, it must be true. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif)
