Twincharged VW coming... stock...

[Sp00ner]

Was just reading in C&D that VW is planning on making a twincharged, 1.4L motor putting out 170ish hp.

Got it in the car, don't remember right now, maybe a new one?

Twincharged, only 170HP? Why would they do that for such a small engine and little amount of power?

[cvenom2122]

alot of power begining and end off the line supercharger top end turbo! but yea 170 hp sucks lol atleast 220 like audi's

Keep in mind that was pre-pre-preproduction numbers. Who knows what it will actually be. What's Psi-Fi's Mini, isn't that similar size and numbers??

[Sp00ner]

Oh, and because it gets better gas mileage than their straight turbo cars.

And the car prolly weighs almost nothing, that 170hp would propel a car pretty good if it only weighed around 2000 or so. Look a the Lotus supercar...its like a V8 (maybe a V6) and it runs with Ferrari V10's and 12's.

I'm not sure about psi-fi's but there was another company that twin charged a mini. Check this link out. I can't find the exact numbers cuz the issue is at my mom's house but if you really want ill look the next time im there, i think it was around 300 @ low 20's psi
