Is this the same chart you have tried to send me last time? I know that the turbo 2.23liter is code MC. 1) What is the code for the 2.1 liter Quantum that you have used? WE it has 103 hp and 153 torque 2) Which engine are you putting in your wife's vanagon? From which Audi is this engine? It is a Quantum Engine KX and will have 130 hp with a custom/German camshaft 3) Which engine code did you use in Marks vanagon. Do you notice a difference between this and the 2.1 l. From which Audi is this engine? It's also a Quantum engine with JT and 115 hp it pull the Syncro real good but it is not broken in (200 miles) so we don't know how much power Mark got. 4) Which 16 inch rims did you put on the van? Did you have any clearance problems? This are Dodge Intrepet Rims with 45 off set and with the adapter we don't have any problem with the clearens. 5) Have you resolved the tachometer issue? Did Marks van have a tach? Mark have a tach and he is working on this problem ! 6) How did the smog certification on these vans go? Not good they have ervery time somethink what they do not like. I think I will get a Air resource Test and then no one will have any problem. 7) You mentioned that the turbo is not good for the synchro. Please explain. The bigest problem is that the Turbo manifold wast gate is to cloese to the Gas tank. And 240 torque is a lot of tension on your visco clutch. Thank you for your interest Sincerely Detlev Vanagon Projekt
