Since I've owned the car, Its had wonderful gas mileage. I'd like to get more power out of the car, and have read about people saying not to turbo a 8v.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Now on to the Pictures.

It is at that. Keep an eye on their website, there is talk of it moving to the new VW Factory there as it should be opening at the turn of the year.

Cool! It's rare to see one now and you have one side-by-side.

I bump into something like this yesterday. It's cool to see 2 rabbits side by side.

Yeah I know. When I first got mine, I really wanted a gti. Since I couldn't find one, the cabby was the next best thing.
