I have alot more mods then you, but i have raced the so called 1.8T and its a super small stock turbo, unless he has it upgraded, the turbo is the size of your center cap on your r/t rims.. its nothing to worry about.. off the line that 1.8 is all motor turbo ont kick in till about mid rpm for him.
I would race him and do the same thing you did last time, start in 1st, redline it to get a good rpm launch from 2nd and then turn od off and put into drive to redline 3rd. If you get a good launch im willing to bet your high end v8 power will keep you ahead of him after the launch.
Ide go for it..
When i raced the 1.8t i blew his doors off, then i came to a stop light and he blew past me from a dead stop i caught him and still beat him at the time all i had done was..
1.7rr
gibson headers
mopar 4bbl m-1
and thats it...
Now i have,
"Read Sig"
little diffrence.

I would say race, if it is for fun. The VWs are very respectable. He may have a little after market part called a boost controler. If that is the case, he may beat you. That is the cheapest way to add HP. Ask him if he has a boost gage (after market). If he is monitering the boost, that means he has upped it beyound stock.

i dont think that volkswagen beetles have AWD as an option. yeah i just checked and its not an option. also if he does have a 2002 S than he has a 6 speed manual. (only option) if he can drive it i would worry but if he isn't careful than he will just spin his front tires and get sh*t tons of tourqe steer. go for it, you only live once.
