Title: Porsche diesel on TV
Post by: moTthediesel on May 29, 2010, 07:24:07 am
They aired the bit about my car on Discovery Channel Canada this week, here's a link to the clip --

Yipes, I'm a bit of a ham!

The engine is a hydro 1.6 with all ARP fasteners and a metal HG. It has a Giles pump and a mechanical controlled VNT 15 blowing through a 944 turbo intercooler into a GTI long runner manifold.

that was kinda disappointing
cool for you and everything, but it was like watching a science experiment for 10 year olds
they didn't say anything about the car itself or what you're doing with it
