Take a test drive in a Passat or Jetta with with the 1.8 Liter Turbo engine.
Made a believer out of me! Throw in a chip and the 170HP is increased to over
200HP! Not too bad. This is the same engine that VW/Audi uses in the A4 and
Audi TT and has been selected as one of the 10 best production engines 3
times by Ward's Automotive <

siteid=26&magazineid=50&srtype=1> . Americans have been trained to think that
larger engine displacement is the only way to achive power.
