Subject:A REALLY crazy german!

While looking through the pages of the german yahoo to see if there were
anything interesting, there was a headline that caught my eye. Jumping
to his page, I find that this guy is driving a type 181(thing) with an
Oettinger-prepared waterboxer. The engine is a 2,5 liter, but that was
not enough for this guy! He is about to take off completely, so he is
starting with a MV type engine(because of the low compression and mild
cam) he is going to supercharge it! As he further writes, if the
superch. works with the MV engine, he is going to put it on his 2,5
Oettinger instead, and putting it in his 181, a bug or maybe a KG.
If you read german: http://www.berlin-bear.de/golf/start-d.html
or in english_not finished:-(

He is expecting above 160 hp for this application, which will feature an
Eaton supercharger from the MB C/SLK 230 KOMPRESSOR
There are some pix of the 2,5 sans super while he is removing it from
the engine bay if his thing. This is totally awesome!
