A lot of time and money has gone into that. I think something in that state of tune will be off the road more than on - sadly

Not my cup of tea, but as wrekka points out, hard not to appreciate the effort that has gone into it. Make sure you have a load of cash in a slush fund to keep it on the road

Wow that's a lot of power. I know we don't turbo the B7 RS4 engine because of the lack of space under the bonnet but why has no one (as far as I know bored / stroked the engine to something like 4.7 for extra power like this guy has as a cheaper alternative to charging?
It's amazing that he has managed to get that big V8 in the B5 engine bay and still managed to squeeze a turbo in there too. I bet that involved a lot of cutting and welding alone!

That looks quick. I would love to know how much money must have been spent on that?

Jesus that's monstrous

Yes lots of money spent on it but i dont understand what sort of person would buy it?i mean it will take a full tank of fuel to just get to end of his street

What a Machine! Alot of work but hasnt doug got a higher bhp out of the v6? Also that has 2 turbos right...

Obviously this V8 must sound epic!

OH my days has anybody watched the video?

Just watched it, hells teeth, the speedo looks like a rev counter.

video?

Obviously it goes without saying that its had one careful owner; never raced or rallied

It's very quick but I'm not sure I believe the power claims. Unless I'm mistaken (but I don't think I am with this), if the dyno was properly calibrated then the power and torque curves, regardless of their values, will always intersect at 5252rpm.
If the dyno is out of calibration then you can expect them to intersect elsewhere in the rev range. In this case though they don't even come close to each other.
If I'm wrong with this then I hope that someone in the know can let me know because I've always thought that this was a fact.

Have been talking to the bloke selling this. He reckons on high boost it makes "1300+bhp and over 1600Nm of torque".

What's on high boost ?, the car or the guy describing it ?

If only VW group had seen this before they spent fortunes making a 1000hp car with
4 x turbos , 1250Nm , 16 cylinders and 8.0 capacity ...............they could of saved millions
