Default hmmm.. June 01 Motor trend has full test of HPA 500hp TT beetle and>>

the Speedvision world challenge S4

The HPA beetle story mentions some interesting things about the TT quattro system used in the bug. HPA says the TT quattro from a 225 handles 500hp with ease as well as high rpm clutch drops etc... and HPA confirms Audi AG's testing of the TT quattro system with up to 800hp without failure. Imagine an 800hp TT!!!!!

For a car such as the TT that already has the AWD system in it, the VR6 twin turbo install costs a measly 9800 bucks and comes with a 1 year warranty.

droooollllll

Default The Haldex system has been successful in longevity tests to consistantly hold 2000 Nm...

without difficulty. Also, the twin intercooler system currently used in the TT keeps the twin garrett VR6 very cool in traffic. This conversion is reportedly very streetable from other than magazine sources. Porsche killer. Porsche killer. That sounds pretty good.
