Not bad at all....

Pretty cool, huh?

Running DM Forged connecting rods, too.

So was the internals of the engine essentially the same except for the DM Forged rods?

I'm not sure of the specifics. I only know about the DM Forged rods because I sell them (INA Engineering manufactures them) and was privvy to the info when they were testing them prior to the record runs.

I would assume Mahle Motorsport or JE pistons at a lower compression ratio. Most likely standard crankshaft. I very much doubt that would be custom..

As always, it would be essentially an original VW engine, with some "upgrades".
