So our regular "Torque Monster" Type 4 wasn't enough for you? Thats ok, we are always pushing the boundaries of VW engines here at Wayne Penrose Volkswagen. We would like to give you a taste of what is possible with our turbocharging and Haltech Fuel injection upgrades.
We have turbocharged and fuel injected a "Torque Monster" engine to produce 289hp and 295 ft-lb of torque on just 8psi boost!
And if that wasn't enough, we also tuned it on E85, turned the boost up to 16.5psi and it
made a blistering 385hp and 376 ft-lb torque!!
EDIT: Well we couldn't call it a day at 385hp for our Ultimate Type 4 street engine. After more research and development, we have managed to extract a rediculous 435hp and 451ft/lb torque from this engine using the same 16.7psi boost!!
Tuned on E85, this engine provides approximately a +725% power increase over a standard 1600 cc engine.

When purchasing this engine, a transmission upgrade is required due to the levels of torque produced.
See how the insane performance of this engine battles with some of Australia's quickest street cars in roll racing!!
The Beetle accelerates from 0-100km/h in 3.47 seconds using street tyres! It then continues to accelerate from 100km/h to 162km/h in just 3.9 seconds!
