Smyth Performance MKIV VW Golf/Jetta Kit Car Hits the Road!

[manual_tranny]

It's finally burning rubber!

I installed some R520 injectors and a quick stage 2 tune from Malone, and this car is QUICK. Stock turbo and 120-130hp may not sound like much, but we removed 800+ pounds from the car and put the motor where it belongs (mid engine)

Bigger turbos and cams to come! 200hp/330lb.ft is just around the corner!

Ah, here's a better picture of the car with the engine cover down.

This starts out as a 4-door Jetta or Golf and turns into this within about 100hours:

I have been following him since this was just a concept.

Nice to know a fellow person on here helped tune it. :Cheer: It looked like it scooted!
