It's an April fools joke....

1) Kevin loves N/A even if the Si and the GSR are faster.

2) He'd hate spending that much money to make a car faster.

3) Hey isn't that the same Callaway Turbo VW kit you're trying to sell over here? http://forums.vwvortex.com/zerothread?id=766862

Now make that call for me phool!!

Yeah, thanks for ******* up my April Fool's joke Paul. WTF would you come onto my Forum and pull the plug on my gag that I'd obviously spent some time setting up?

Seriously. You need to do a little introspection and find out why you'd sabotage your friend like that. I don't get you sometimes.

I set up a house of cards and you come knock it over. Har har, very funny.

I would like to thank you all, including the V8 joker, for making my dreary day get better. What a laugh! I knew that Kevin had to be insane if he were serious. So, this whole time, I was asking myself "could Kevin really be out of his mind?" I didn't think so.

Wow, I was really scared. You're like the biggest N/A guy on this forum, and I didn't want to see another GTUs go down in flames.
I'm staying N/A because straight-away power isn't that important to me, I'd rather keep my reliability, durability, and just make it handle well.
You sure gave me a scare.

This is a good joke and all, but I really have a Turbo GTUs, um now I feel kinda stupid ha....I didn't start the project but, I am planning to finish it....FMIC is on backorder and clutch is next followed by trannsmission and some electronic stuff. Oh and Rarest, I beat you, I have an 89 Black on Black....but I'd still gravel, I'm new to this but true to this.

what do you think is in the clutch diff? The torsen is full of metal gears, the clutch is full of metal discs. THe viscous also is full of metal plates. The weight diffrence is super minimal. I have them laying around.
just what Ive found out from taking them apart.
