Yep, that engine looks like it will be a pain in the neck with some years and miles on it.

Have you seen all the JDM vs VW fan boy bickering on MCM's social media about this project?  :grin:


Dan_FR:
Not seen it, but be interesting to see how long the motor lasts... seen a few letting go at (or before) the 500 mark now... Not as bullet proof as many believe

pudding:
Yup.  One or two have let go at 400hp, let alone 500  :grin:

The internet is a funny place.  A handful of people get away with adding 200+hp to a standard engine for 6-12 months, and that earns it 'bomb proof' status  :grin:

Show me a 500hp Golf R that's done 100K miles on stock internals, that hasn't been show queened or only driven to and from the shops, then I'll change my mind  :smiley:
