	Is that all?  Don't get me wrong, that's a lot of HP, but at Waterfest
the guy with the 16V Turbo NOS mk2 told me he had 325 without the
juice.  quick mental mathematix....

	1.8L = 139hp  (in the UK)
	2.0L = 150hp
	2.11 = 156hp
     exhaust = 161hp
       turbo = 220hp

	Plus all the extras.  Depending on what kind of work this guy's done to
his car (and how much hp his turbo is worth), that sounds a hell of a
lot more likely than the guy at Waterfest.

	I'd have to read it in a sentence, but I think that maybe it's a
nickname for the tranny, brakes, gas, or the whole bunch together.
