Yeah, the 1.8 Audi 20v turbo seems kinda odd, but was probably done to keep 
costs down.  My Audi 20v is based on the 2.22l Audi 5cyl and it pulls hard all 
the time.  I would venture a guess quicker than the 1.8 with the turbo.  In fact
the 100's offered a 20v Turbo in the 2.22l config, and that was something.

 And while I'm here, I earlier wondered what the advantages of the
Audi 1.8L 20valve turbo motor were when it only put out 150hp.  I checked 
some of my car mags again and found that the motor is torquey for it's 
size.  I did read somewhere that throttle response is very good but the Car 
& Driver folks (especially John Phillips) seemed to think the motor was 
laggy (when it was in the new Passat).  Still, 8 second 0-60 in a car that 
weighs almost 50% more than ours is pretty nice. benton-----
