My bet is it's a type 1 engine with a turbo. The type 1 has less head sealing issues making it easier to turbo.

Yeah, just ask, I'm sure they'll be flattered and happy to help. If you just want a high horsepower street car and it doesn't have to be a VW engine I can direct you to a 480 wheel horsepower turbo Acura K20 powered bug. |

Just interested to see if its NA or turbo...I have heard rumors of 300hp NA motors...that are not timebombs...Just curious really.

NA 300hp you have to run big stroke/bore, 48+IDA's, superflow heads, modified shroud or type1 DTM, ratio rockers, cam, headers, etc....a transmission that can handle it.
Cheaper than a type 4, but if done right it's not a whole lot cheaper. A turbo could do that on a cheaper big bore type 1 with stock head castings. |

My T1 record NA is 310HP at the flywheel(pro stock engine).. The life span of that engine was measured in seconds at 16:1 CR
T4 NA record is 284HP on pump gas (street engine). Turbo record is 650HP for a Pro Mod "Type None" on Gasoline turning over 9,000 RPM at 36 PSI boost. Big power can be made, with extreme effort and a set of cylinder heads that cost more than a new Kia off the showroom floor. I am working on one final T4 extreme project over this winter.. Its finally ready for assembly. Its more fun now than anything, I don't even want to build engines at that level for customers any longer. |
