yeah, by the time it's ready, your car will be long gone...and then you'll have to get another one.

Default Thought you were going for turbos?

For the price they are asking for their setup, if it ever becomes avialable, you should be able to get someone to do something creative for you.

Default Thats really interesting. Figured they were much closer to releasing it when Chris did that writeup

and it got posted all over audiworld.

Default the only way that would work is with a remote turbo setup.

no way anyone's putting 2 turbos in that engine compartment, no matter how small they are. plus, a 12.5:1 CR isn't exactly turbo-friendly...so you're looking at a top end rebuild with lower CR pistons, and that's where it gets expensive.

Default a thicker Head Gasket would help out with the compression. I think the car can easily handle 7lb

of boost. Develping a setup is going to be a lot of work.
