WTF is this

At the minute this photo is making as much sense to me as the photo with the guy holding the sewing machine with the crashed ups van in the background.

Who built this, and how is the boost routed?
And also, I have to say it looks factory...
Id give 50 quid to see the other side of it.

(sorry if this is a re-post, I honestly am a bit dumbfounded with this one)

Aside from a few differences it LOOKS a bit like a 16vG60 (based on where the alternator and a couple of other bits are) but seems more modern looking (not sure why I think that)

 

Looks like it's got a ruddy great turbo on t'other side of it!

ABF 16v S&TC?

 

First 2 are original VW G60 16v engines




Then a Bahnbrenner G60 16v

 

The first pic I put up has a turbo though..

 

nice pic, the wastegate looks similar to an old school stock audi item and the size of pulley on the charger, its going to scream

 

the inlet manifold looks like a 20v 5 cylinder one cut down possibly from an RS2

 

it looks like a quattro waste gate too

and air con

 

I know as there's a forum with that picture and someone claiming that the twincharged VW engine only made 220hp, despite the 16v G60 limited having 210hp.

 

This picture cam up on Vortex forums a while back.. Compound charged 16v was the verdict...

 

Could be as S2/RS2 setup as i have used with a g60 added for low down grunt with a AC compressor too.

 

Going off the upper camcover deign, it's a KR/9A shortblock, if that helps date it?

Mysterious.

 

tsi motor?

 

I thought that at first, but it all looks a bit too `old school` to be one of those.

It probably only looks factory, because whoever built it used NOS parts...

 

I think It's just been put together very well.

JezzaG60 has built one, Have a look towards the bottom of this thread

Is there a chance it's some photoshop wind-up madness?

Start with a 16V G60, complete with Mk2/3 rear mount, add turbo wastegate and different inlet?

 

Yeah, good point. Might explain why it is floating in thin air.

Myabe it was a well put togeather 16vG60, and somebody has stuck the wastegate at the back.

 

exactly what I was about to post...

 

I actually dident think of that...........highly possible

 

yea was going to post that it looks like a possible photoshop, might just be the fact that its been cut out and put on a different backround but if there are no other pics of it on the net then photoshop is likely.
