So Frank, you are turbo charging an Audi motor, eh? What is beneficial
about the Saab v/a? Is it that you are using the whole turbo system from
such a Saab?

I am also gathering together a hybrid 2.0 liter motor:

- Audi 3A bottom end. Balanced and lightened.
- '84 GTI 'big valve' head. slight port n' polish for obstruction
removal.
- Knock Sensor system from an A2 Golf GTI I am parting out.
- Thermo controlled external oil cooler.

On another list I am on we where just discussing my question of
increasing performance but not sacrificing torque in the process.
