How did they handle the weight distribution? I know its a 50/50 bias with the 13b in the car. I know I can lift the 13b with one hand fully loaded. I know I can't with an LS motor and that it has much more weight.
The stock TT can make 350 whp with simple bolts ons intake and exhaust. A turbo upgrade will net over 500 whp without much more. Plus you get a 9k rpm limit and the excellent gearing from the trans.
Caring for the rotary 13b is hard, but it is so easy to rebuild and upgrade.
I can only see this mod as lowering the value of the car unless it is going to be used for one purpose racing in a straight line.
