Well, starting with a low compression engine and not trying to boost too

<http://www.tdiclub.com> Nice FAQ and archive sections.
<http://www.frontiernet.net/~volvoic/turbokits.html>
<http://8vturbo.com>
< http://members.aol.com/kimhoff/index.htm>
< http://www-pal.usc.edu/~jan/cars.html>  Jaaaaaaaaan!
< http://www.newdimensions.com/ND_Gallery.html>  the big O.
