16v G60
Volkswagen Motorsport only built 70 of these engines for the Golf Limited, with a compression ratio of 8.8 to 1 and max boost reportedly at 22.62 psi produced 210 Bhp and a peak torgue of 186 lb/ft @ 5,000 rpm, I have seen two other 16v G60's but they were in magazines, one of which was a 2 litre, the other I saw in person, building these engines is a complicated task as it involves mounting the altenator behind the inlet manifold causing all sorts of heat related problems. It can also be mounted below the charger which can be a lot of work but does look tidier.

20v G60
There's a guy I know in England who is 80% finished on one of these engines. This is based on the 1.8 20v Turbo engine currently available in the VW / Audi range. More news as I get it.
