saw a VW r32 w/ phat FMIC

Do the VW r32 come stock w/ a FMIC? I was cruzing on the freeway a couple days ago and I saw this thing sneaking up in my rear view mirror, and noticed a huge FMIC..... I did not think these came w/ FMIC?

R32's are NA, so odds are he was running a twin turbo under that hood. Hence the phatty front mount. Boosted R32's are rocketships.

R32 twin turbo arent that fast... they are heavy as hell. 550 WHP only got them mid 11's with full interior! thats weak! They do have some top end though because of the V6 and the torque line. with proper gearing them things will hit 200+MPH!

damn he must have money to be twin turboing an R32, they kit is around 15,000 dollars last time i checked. What does your evo have done to it? Impretty sure the TT R32 run about 11.0-11.02 in th 1/4 mile and are tough to beat on the highway becuase of the 4 motion the car is more front wheel then rear wheel so it doesnt lose to much power on the higway. Chances are it was vf engineering supercharger stage 2 (stage 2 comes with front mount) check some pics of my buddies supercharged R32 http://www.autobonproductions.com/AB...32/R32_gal.htm

My friend put about $43,000 into it. My Evo is Stock pretty much. I only Have a TBE, MBC and Fuel Pump. I ran a 12.5 1/4.... with these current mods. Keep in mind I spent $ 1,000 so far on my car. I just ordered Cams and ARP head bolts. $ 675..... After Al's flash wich is $ 400 ofr a grand total I will have a car to do mid 11's for around $2,000..... Can you Imagine how crazy and stupid modding a VW R32 really is now that you seen the figures. Once again VW hahaha..... Poor man's car....

It might have been a regular 1.8T GTI with an R32 body kit and a front mount. There's a few rolling like that out there.
