hey chris - i agree with some of what you say, my biggest problem with the
wbx is the lack of power- and poor fuel efficeincy. if this was a balanced
shaft motor with about 50 more hp. and 40-55 mor foot pounds of torque, it
would be much better! but i mean come on 80 hp from 1.9 liters! thats not
very efficient ! a 1.8 liter golf is well over a hundred! ever try to buy
peformance parts for your wbx?? cam, headers etc? not much out there is
there??  just my 2 cents
