Default I don't think we ever got the A/B test on the same car. Kyle was going to...
... do it on his car, but that was before he decided to sell the S4.

Default How about on an A4, since there is only one turbo to change and a lot less time involved
The type of car shouldn't matter as long as it is the same exact turbo K04 or K03. Once with ZC coating one without. A simple dyno test on each and VAG data logging similar to a FATS test to show g/s etc and that should do

Default Ya know, he could make two compressor housings..
one ZC the other not, on an A4 that'd be about as quick and easy of a swap possible.
