You can't make it at home, but you can buy it from various chemical suppliers. I don't think it's terribly expensive.

"Volumetric efficiencies above 100% can be reached by using forced induction such as supercharging or turbocharging. With proper tuning, volumetric efficiencies above 100% can also be reached by naturally aspirated engines. The limit for naturally aspirated engines is about 137%;[1] these engines are typically of a…

The US Jetta is probably heavier, with more airbags and stuff.

There is no theoretical limit to power per unit displacement. If the engine's well built, you can just keep putting bigger and bigger turbos on it, and revving it higher and higher. In practice, though, a car with a huge turbo making 400 psi of boost and running at 15000 RPM all the time would be an absolute…
