Re: 2.0 8v.... 3a vs. ABA

["Alex Ting" <alext@nu2u.net>]

I say go with the ABA, if the prices are equal or close.
You'll want the TT downpipe anyways, if just for the performance
upgrade alone.
Also, I think the 3A does not have the under piston oil-squirters like
the ABA does, but I could be wrong.....
I'll be building an ABA, because it's better suited to a turbo, and the
oil squirters will be important for me....
