There was a twin turbo R32 doing some runs at gti international and that was in the 10s over the quarter mile IIRC

the thing sounded awesome like an audi Quattro

Nice vid, cars a bit noisy for my taste.

Think the tester should have got his foot a little closer to the roller

Did I miss the fact that the R32 is 4wd?

That is awesome

You can switch it to 2WD by removing a simple relay apparently - the 4WD system is crap, so couldnt cope with the power.

Not true, the Haldex 4wd system as found on the R32 can easily handle the power- the problem is it shifts power fore and aaft as it thinks the wheels are spinning causing it to jump about on the rollers- it causes most modern dyno's to shut down.

True about the fuse though

Through the front wheels. That car is all about pub talk cos I doubt you could drive it.

Respect though, it's kinda cool in its own right.

I've read somewhere in the manual that you can do the same thing to a Scooby. Apparently you should do it if it's being towed or something.

How does that work, I thought the Subaru 4wd system was purely mechanical?

Fairly sure the Scoob system is perm 4WD, but the Golf system is a electrical funky thing.

It uses electrics to switch between 2WD and 4WD, only going to 4WD when it senses traction loss on the front wheels.

Engine sounds wicked, and impressive results, but if the awd system is ****e, then makes the whole effort a bit of a waste of time does it? 600bhp through the front wheels on a chassis set up for AWD, just going to wheel spin and get torque steer!

You don't need to pull a fuse to make a haldex car FWD, just put the handbrake on one click and it will disengage the back, or fully if they are actually stationary for dyno runs etc.
