Turbo Scirocco Web Site [was: RE: Thanks]

What would it take to convince all you turbo experts out there to put all this knowledge down on virtual paper so the rest of us can learn too? Or is there already a place that is considered the "shrine" of VW forced induction? I've been dreaming of starting a forced-induction engine project, and I've learned a lot over the past couple years in bits and pieces from list members and other people, but I still feel horribly uneducated/inexperienced/intimidated. If anyone is willing to send me pictures/text/links, I'd be more than willing to put it all together on my Web site. I'll take literally ANYTHING, from saved emails to chicken scratches on napkins!
 
I have the beginnings of such an archive already, a good chunk of which has been contributed by Bradley Peet and Rodney Huss. I have also been collecting information regarding 1.8t and G60 swaps, though I really don't have much of that yet. It would be interesting to compare/contrast the different options based on cost, reliability, power potential, etc.
 
So, anybody who's willing/able: send me your knowledge!

Thanks for the public acclaim Ayham.  But, it should be noted that almost all of my turbo knowledge...which is mostly theoretical at the moment....comes from Mr. Roland Johansson and several others who have been advising/educating me and troubleshooting my problems as they arose.
 
This list a fantastic resource for off the wall projects.
 
To continue this line of thanks.....Chris DeLong is the MAN....he went out of his way to get a hold of the "gentleman" that sold Dirk those wheels and also owes me a manifold.  Chris called this dude up, and politely I may add, encouraged him to get a hold of Dirk and I to resolve the issues.
 
Thanks again Chris,
Ayham your welcome.
 
Everyone else have a Roccin good day!!!

Guys , i want to thank Brian Honnold , he was very very helpfull for the last couple of weeks , i've been asking him daily , and he was responding and replying also daily , he was a big support to me for all the information on doing a turbo conversion on the 16V engine . Before i talked to him , i knew nothing about turbos and how they work , now and after talking to Brian i can fit turbo by myself  . Brian a BIG THANK YOU over the list for all the help .
BTW , i'll start fitting the turbo and the 16V next week . I can't wait to see how it will turn out .
