Default turbo VR6 in a B5 = gravy
too bad nobody's doing it.

OR, an AWD turbo VR6 jetta would be sweet too.

I heard you can get crazy hp with that motor and there is plenty of room for the turbo.

Default heatsoaked with just chip and exhaust? isnt that rather rare? Thought you had to but running more
boost/power to worry about heatsoak. At least K04 or higher, I guess not

Default Well maybe I'm being too sensitive about the AC.... DBR runs at 16-17 psi..
maybe 18 (my boost gauge is off by a line... stupid thing...)
