The GX runs at 12.5:1 and a (light) turbo boost would give it a bit of a kick for the performance minded, but how high can you go with the compression before you start blowing things like head gaskets?
If the VW started at 12.5:1... would it need the turbo?

Re: Commercially available turbocharged CNG
I'm not really that technical, but the TSI engine is also available as a gasoline version. This engine on gasoline produces less power than the CNG version. I have no idea how it works. Opel (GM) has a very similar TSI engine.Last edited by Gerben; 01-09-2010, 05:35 AM.
