It would squish your car, unless you towed it on a trailor lol :lol:
'82 Rabbit, I put on a euro vnt-15, 2.25" DP, 2.5" exhaust, the result.....it whistled.

I removed the turbo, made a toilet bowl 2.5" DP, the result....it was deafening. Now it has a homemade muffler up front and a thrush in the rear, the result.....less loud.

I think it will start spooling at about 50,500,000 engine rpm's on a 1.5.
you might want to get some ARP main bolts before you try it.

So you're saying I'll need to get some heavy-duty valve springs then?

I think you'd have better results converting it and running it on your roof

I think he would need injectors the size of 55 gal drums to be worried about EGT's with that thing..
