Default Here's an on line article of HPA's experiments that will beat a new 911 turbo...

They put a haldex in a Beetle and transverse mount a twin turbo VR6 motor. They use the twin intercoolers from the TT. Those of you who have seen the Bug motor compartment can surmise that it will fit in the TT. BTW, 18/10's in back with 255's. This is very exciting. <ul><li><a href="http://www.findarticles.com/cf_0/m0BUX/4_32/71265966/p1/article.jhtml?term=HPA+motorsports">HPA experiments</a></li></ul>

Well, well, well.... How about a courteous request to Ingolstadt for an '03 or '04 TTS like this?

That'll be an embarrassing $120K spent on the autobahn vs. TT price + $19K.

To bad it won't fit in the platform. The 2.7T would be awesome though.
