18 horsepower, lol. The poor thing. Had it never been rebuilt? That's probably 24 hp max at the crank, should have ~12 more. It's amazing it can even move down the road, lol


It only has a a few thousand miles on rebuilt and runs really well. :?

Maybe the dyno isn't accurate that low? It's like trying to measure the width of a human hair with a yard stick :lol:

Does seem awful low. But does the trans have any thing to do with bringing it down that much.

The tranny would have to be eating up 50% of the power for those numbers to make sense, I would be surprised if it were more than 25%, which is how I came up with 24 hp

I talked to one of the water guys and he said that gti had a huge turbo on it. Amazing it could make that much power.

I was afraid mine would not have spun the wheel to make any horse power.

Those things can make a lot of power. Too bad they're front wheel drive :roll:

Aw man I would have loved to run mine on that dyno so I could really see what mine puts out. I don't really have much of an idea...
