1.8 16v Mod Options

Al-
Those modifications will not raise torque "across the board".  They will
subtract lower rpm torque output in exchange for the increase on the upper
end.
Will they subtract enough that you, John, will be dissatisfied? Only you can
answer that.
 Just realize that they WILL reduce lower rpm power.
