Yeah, I was just reading new dimensions' website... they lower boost to
7.4:1. But it says on their webpage no turbos available "at this time" for
A1's... ugh.

Hey, I drove a rabbit diesel for a while, so I'd be perfectly used to that!
Haha

Sheesh I just asked, like, 2 or 3 questions, isn't that what the list is
for?? Oh, wait, that's another question. Better not ask too many more. Heh..

I didn't plan on doing it tomorrow or anything, but thinking to the future,
i was thinking i'd rather go the turbo route instead of exhaust, cam,
intake, etc. etc. (although I realise I'd probably need a more free flowing
exhaust if I got a turbo). I suppose if I didn't get a kit I'd need a oil
cooler...
