I know little to nothing about 1.8t's, but does that sound like a normal thing to do? Are there aftermarket S/C's for a Vw that really put out enough power to warrant the $3,000+ swap? To me it sounds like a really stupid thing to do, a waste of money, and possibly more trouble then power gain.

And supposidly he isnt fully joking. He claims the car is having the work done RIGHT NOW. I guess i'll have to wait a few weeks (as he said) to find out if its true or not.
