recently, i mean the engine runs good, but it seeme like its not as punchy as I would think. Is this just VW things, or am I supposed to feel some punch in high RPMS? Having 2nd grind when shfiting fast doesn't help etiher.... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/sad.gif) CRAP (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/headbang.gif)

Let's be realistic...It's 95 HP stock at it's best. Need more punch?...get more HP (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif) A compression test will give you a "feel" for the heath of the engine i.e are the rings shot, valves bad, etc. If you haven't done this take it to a mechanic [preferably a Porsche or Type IV type] and have a leakdown test done. It's not expensive and will tell alot more than a basic compression test. |
