 VWvortex Feature Cars: VF-Engineering/GIAC's RSS and RSR GTIs | « » 1:23 PM 7-20-2007 | |
|
VF-Engineering has been providing complete forced induction solutions for enthusiasts for more than a dozen years, and they are perhaps best known for pairing their centrifugal supercharger kits with GIAC software on everything from R32s, M3s and even 911s. But when VW introduced the 2.0T, VF-Engineering founder Nik Saran saw the obvious performance potential in the motor and decided it was time to dive back into turbos once again. After some research with software partner GIAC it was decided that two unique tuning options should be offered, and work began on the development cars... Full Story and Gallery

when you dampen something, you make it wet.cars have dampers, not dampeners. we're not making the car wet.

IF you have to ask......
But since you did...I'm curious as well. What is the pricing strategy for these? Are there going to be levels like there are with the supercharger systems?
I'm kinda curious about something...Nik, will these "kits" work with both the traditional manual trannie and the DSG units? I would think that the RSR "kit" would be tooo much power for the DSG but the RSS sounds like it would work.

why did they name the cars (RSR/RSS add on from RS) after Porsche race car and use Porsche style font on the side of VW?? if you go that far, at least match the RSR VW with a widebody kit and alot of Porsche parts or something close rather than the name and scripting

Are you really complaining about the names of the cars? With this kind of power - the name is less then relevant

Whilst the RSS car does have the AWE 2.5" turboback which we endorse, the RSR car has a custom VF 3" turbo back exhaust with Magnaflow cat and boxes with custom dual outlet rear section. Diameter testing results will be published in due course.
