HYPO-VW turbo manx project
hypo-vw - July 27th, 2005 at 12:55 AM

well at WPVW , we are at it again !! this time we are building up a 1916cc quad throttle-body , turbo-charged , intercooled VW manx buggy for a very insane customer . The buggy is currently registered and will be street driven with the occasional trip to the strip . I will post regular updates so that you can see this monster develope and keep you informed of updates . I'm sure this project will attract some critisim as the turbo oval project did , but for all those who are genuinely interested , THIS IS FOR YOU !!! this is not just an engine build , but a full resto and performance set-up .
