Subject:Re: 1.9 Wasserboxer differences? (63 kW vs 66 kW)

Daryl has a Zetec. Seen it. Touched it.

I would not dream of putting a turbo on a waterboxer.  It's hard
enough to keep the combustion gases and the coolant separated without
increasing the BMEP.

You funny guy. ;o)

Seriously, VW didn't install a turbo to get that torque curve. I want
to know what they DID do. It's still a 1.9 NA wasserboxer.
