Subject:      Re: ?G2 on G60 Corrado?

The G60 engine is equipped with a G-force supercharger which has inherently bad bearings. That's why VW opted not to use that supercharger anymore, and aftermarket companies now offer a turbocharger replacement system which although is not as responsive, is more efficient in the top end.
