RE: Info on VW G60 SC?

["Pat Dooley" <pdooley@gte.net>]

The G60 has a nasty habit of failing when hopped up.  The small pulley kits
turn the blower RPM up and raise the boost accordingly.  Problem is, the
innards can't handle it and the thing tends to self machine itself into a
useless, expensive pile of metal.

My friend built a G60 rabbit featured in European Car.  The thing made 225HP
and was a monster on the street.  Problem was he couldn't keep a blower on
it.  Eventually went to a turbo.  Much cheaper, tunable, efficient, etc...
