Default "why would so many k03 1.8t's get a downpipe if there were no gains???"

I dunno, placebo effect?

It is hard enough to demonstrate cause and effect between actual data (temps, etc) and "real world gains." Popularity should not enter the equation.

Remember, you have that dinky K03 on the far side!

Offered without comment to avoid the pissing match that often ensues!
