Thanks again Dana.Would you also happen to know the origin of the 028 103 373
1 head that is used on the  NA motor? I talked to my FLAPS who sold me this
1.9NA motor this morning about Overland/Eurospec's claim that this motor
could be turbocharged with no problems. I bought this motor specifically with
the intent to add the turbo in the future and made that intention clear to my
dealer before I layed out the money In fact I had him phone Overland the
morning I took delivery about using the turbo with the 1.6 head. Again
Overland's response was all assurances that there would be no problems. I'm
beginning to smell a garlic scented rat here. (Gilroy, CA, where Overland is
located, is the "Garlic Capital of the World".) BTW my dealer here in
Albuquerque had bought up all of Overland's Eurospec  inline 4 conversion
kits and would probably sell them almost at cost just to get rid of them.
