Kudos to Jim for reaching that plateau (254 ft-lbs on gasoline) but a Stock 2.0 TDI is 247 ft/lbs. A custom chip brings it quickly to over 300 on pump diesel (custom fuels for each can change that). What the Zetec can't do is 30 mpg while producing that power. :-) Karl Dave Mari wrote: > If its a must to stay with the WBX then Bobs the way to go, but for > under $5k you can get into a do it you self Bostig kit and have a > E85 powered van along with bolt on hight output upgrades like their > new super torque turbo kit with more torque than a TDI! |
