Just so I don't sound like a total dork, my monitor is FUBARed :comp3: . It's so dark that I have trouble watching/seeing most videos. I just have to ask - was your engine just running through the turbos, or did you have mufflers on it?
Fido certainly didn't seem to object to the "noise". Sounds nice and mellow.

just so you know, its a 2275cc (2.3L) vw engine, with a single 3" borla muffler, to4b turbo. going for the sleeper noise level at idle, but hitting the throttle there's no hiding the hp.

and the dog's name is Dzus :secret:

:pat: I thought it was an eight! :lmao: Ohhh maaann, this monitor has got to go!
I've heard my share of V6s, and most sound crappy. Kinda like an eight with eight glass packs. Your's sounds nice and deep.
What are you stuffing it into? :naughty:

It's already in something if I'm not mistaken. Looks almost like a dune buggy or something.. VW Bug right?

Does the bug have any aero tricks done to it? Bugs get interesting at high speeds. did you guys build your engine?

Dayum! Gonna be killer, Andrew. What are you doing for a tranny? I've got a 68 Bug that I started on a while back...I've got a 914-01 tranny for it sitting in the shop right now, with 944 trailing arms and brakes. Mine was gonna get a turbo'd mazda rotary, but I got tired of waiting on the body shop a long time ago and bought my Trans Am(see thread in this forum if you're interested) and stopped on the bug for an indefinite period of time. I can't bring myself to let go of the bug yet, since I still want to finish it one day.


Where can we see more pics at??
