I could only squeeze 8.53 0-60 out of it, I believe it needs some new vacuum lines and a diverter valve and a race N75 valve, should perk her up. I have seen reviews where their Turbo beetle (150hp) did 0-60 in about 7.6 seconds. Apparently the rubber vacuum lines get old and dry out and cause a loss of power and the stock diverter valve is a rubber diaphram and not very strong.
