Default volkswagon TWIN turbo r32?

i read an article the other day boosting a r32 volkswagon with twin turbo's pushing around 300hp,looks like a lot of potential from vw.

I hope that number is at the wheels. I'm sure the kit costs some rediculous amount of money, too. For the price of an R32 and god knows how much for the kit, you could have an Evo/STi and a beater car to run to the store in. That beater could even be a really nice MK2 GTI, for those VW fans.

No, its a kit. They went ApeShit with it. It definetly looks a butt of fun in many aspects, however money could be spent better elsewhere

if twin turbos on the r32 is only pushing out 300hp, thats a complete waste. 60hp more from twin turbos? no thanks.
