Adrenalin Tuning Volkswagen Golf at Bitburg [video]


Here’s some footage featuring a Frankenstein Volkswagen Golf, built by the guys at Adrenalin Tuning, in action on the drag strip at Bitburg. Maintaining a front-wheel drive layout, the factory engine has been replaced with a 1.8-litre 20-valve unit from the Mk4 Golf GTI which, as you’ve probably gathered, has seen a little tweaking. Now running a Garrett GT3076R turbocharger along with programming by the psychopaths at Boba Motoring, this Mk1 now enjoys the benefits of 331 kW (444 hp). And, as well as quicker changes, the DSG transmission also allows the driver to keep his hands on the steering wheel – handy when you’re transferring that kind of power through those thickset front wheels.
