huh? The G60 puts out 158 hp, and it is the same basic block. My rabbit 
easily puts out over 200hp at the crank. There is no real limit to what you 
can do with these blocks, as of yet. Try this one:

"Our first submission comes from Monts Auto Renditions of Phoenix, Arizona.   
Their racing GTI has a 16v engine with a custom fabricated turbo setup.  You 
want power?  Try 277hp @ 4500 rpm at 15lbs of boost, or 435hp @ 5500 rpm at 
22lbs of boost - all with a slightly modified Motronic fuel injection system 
with the oxygen sensor still in place! Don't try this at home (oh, okay, go 
ahead)!"

My understanding is that it uses methanol injection.
