:text-goodpost:

Although the program did get a few things wrong, including fitting the wrong exhaust/bumper for the R, wrong wheels for the R, wrong arches for the R and most importantly, HOW THE H3LL DOES SHE SEE THE OIL LEVEL IN LESS THAN A SECOND ON THE DIPSTICK :eek: :shock: :eusa-think:

:lol: ha ha.
They did show the bumper/exhaust being fitted but it was not for a R. Still quite an interesting article if not for the American narrator who couldn't pronounce puujoe!!! :mrgreen:

Noticed that too. And also it doesn't have a Twin-Scroll Turbocharger but a Variable Geometry Turbocharger :D

Hmmm, I was under the impression that The turbo in my GTi is a twin scroll turbo and that engine is essentially the same as in the 200thp.... :eusa-think:

Actually looking at wikipedia now it is referred to having a twin-scroll.... :eusa-think: But i'm sure i've read it had a VGT somewhere before :eusa-think:

It is a twin-scroll turbo. not a VTG. there is absolutely no VTG control device visible on the turbo housing.

Am I right in saying that the twin scroll turbo helps reduce turbo lag?
