RE: 2.0 16V Turbo

["Bradley Peet" <btpeet@effervescent.com>]

It's possible to use a spacer head gasket and raise the boost but I'm not
sure how much abuse I want to ask the factory pistons to take.  Probably go
with JE 9:1 forged pistons and intercooler next year.

The system is very responsive right now and power is at or above the level
it was before the turbo went in at *all* RPMs.  It's plenty strong in the 3K
range and just plain nutty above 4K.  I'll try to get acceleration times and
dyno figures some time within the next month and post them to the list.
