\"AWD<\/a><\/p>\n

VAGbuilders<\/a> built this unique 1990 Volkswagen Corrado on their channel<\/a> at their shop in the Netherlands. In the engine bay they swapped a 1.9 L TDI (PD130) diesel inline-four. The motor features forged rods, ported head, 272 camshafts, custom exhaust manifold, and water-to-air intercooler. A Skillaturbo 2971 turbocharger provides 3.8 bar (55.1 psi) of boost. VAGbuilders estimates the motor makes 450 hp (330 kW). The drivetrain uses an upgraded six-speed manual transmission and 4Motion Gen1 Haldex AWD drivetrain. <\/p>\n
