In some moments I miss the FK10 bang at 4000rpm… It drove even fairly well up to 4k, but when you hitted 4k the hammer falls and it want‘s to rev the shit out of it.
The 86b has a way more steady torque over the rpm‘s. It goes all the way strong without that turbo bang the fk10 has. For a beetle i would always recomend a fk10 or 86c. As my notch is not the lightes and i applied some sound deadning things, otherwise tobi could not sleep well at 130 km/h
it‘s got weight! So the more tourquey 86b work‘s perfect with the 3.88 r&p. Ah, forgot that well build and nice Performance CSP header (42mm) & exhaust. That‘s a super well build piece, and you could play with collector insert sizes. Only the tail pipe is absolute not my cup of tea cause too modern. That was cut of and and replace thru a v2a pressed conically pressed endpipe. That was a super good moment branded into my brain in the superb work-cellar of tobi where we pressed a cone in the pipe!
He: That‘s enough…
me: no, do some more!
Tobi: ok, now it‘s enough…
Me: go on…
Tobi: sure? That‘s enough…
Me just a small stroke!
In the memory of the LOUD double glaspack‘swhich destroyed thereselves
Under the car it always doesen‘t look that dramatic as when you nose is close to the piece…
Tobi did his endpipe for his variant in the same manner later.
Lambda hub was even welded in.
