Thanks guys, that saves me from the hassle of finding a VWT copy :-)
BTW, I hope Julian (lightning bug) reads the article as well, since he thougth that a reliable N/A 2,7 ltr could not be made (thread in the transmission forum on the recognision of a 915 trans). The 2,7 ltr car of Gerd Tafel proves oherwise, since that car is already quite 'old' and has driven a lot of hard miles. Plus that car doesn't even have Nickies and still gets 226 Hp. Mind you that these power figures are german DIN horsepower. The american bhp is up to 10% less. That would bring that engine to about 250 bhp!
About a year later, the same sort of test has been done on 2 liter engines (both type 1 and type 4) and also, again about a year after that for 1,8 ltr engines (also type 1 and type 4's). Very interesting results.
Hopefully VW Trends does a reprint+translation of those articles as well.
