yes Steve, Dean will be running at the supersprint and yes the turbo is staying on his bug . We did not go to all of this work to remove it and have it stored in a box and put onto a shelf .
Dean is off to London on 1st July for 6 weeks training in the A320 airbus simulator . When he returns on 19th August , I may not be able to see him before he hits the skies as a First Officer (co-pilot) for Jetstar ...... so I wanted him to have as much fun as he could before he gets tied up with the massive pressure that he will be under when he resumes his training & career ......
video of Deans turbo bug ...... engine mods , dyno-tune and racing at WSID street-meet 27-03-2013 ...... This video runs for approx. 9mins but good viewing with various camera angles

Dean enjoyed himself immensly Ian , the fist punch was just a show of shear excitement after many late nights of work on his bug and acheiving outstanding results once again .
The first run Dean left the line on fairly light throttle ( primary barrels only which is quite evident by the air/fuels around 6.2 )and made a pass of 11.77@120mph . In the video you can see the ANDRA official lady walking away from Deans bug as he drives off into the pit area , she grabbed him at the end of the return road and informed him that he went too fast for the event without a super-street licence ( cut-off is 12.0 secs ) . So off to the scrutineering shed and $153 later Dean has a super-street licence and can continue to race .
The second run Dean gave it heaps more leaving the line with the secondary barrels open ( air/fuels now around 5.2 ) and he tells me that it felt like his eyeballs crashed against the back of his skull , shifting through all the gears smoothly he felt that he had made the perfect pass for his bug on the night 11.12@123mph , and the excitement was evident . 👍👍 however , Dean almost made the super-street licence become invalid as the cut-off for it is 11.0secs , any quicker and Dean would have needed an Unlimited licence and also upgrade his bug to Super-sedan specs ........
The third run Dean hammered it from the line , to have his bug break into wheelspin ( even feathering the throttle it would not gain traction ) and he ran a 12.3@120mph
I took my girlfriend for a ride in the beetle yesterday and filmed her reactions with the GoPro. She said she thought it was pretty good until i "flicked the switch" (6psi to 8.5psi) and then she was shocked at the power.
You have inspired me to turbo my type 4 2270. I am sending my Dellorto 45 DRLA's off to be machined into turbo dells and will run a blow through set up.
This is my Volkswagen, there are many like it, but this one is mine. Without me my Volkswagen is useless, without my Volkswagen, I am useless.
