As you're in CA, you've got limited options because of smog laws. The ZC won't pass. Check out www.ardperformance.com & www.hasport.com for engines.

My VW runs ok, it's just not making sufficient boost and power from the aftermarket turbokit I'm using. I really ought to be making around 25lbs of boost and getting somewhere around 250-260whp, but I'm only making 20lbs and 221.7whp (according to my last dyno figures. My powerband is also kinda screwy in that it rises to 3.k, then dips, and rises back up agian until about 5k, then loses it.
