Kneale,

Ouch!  Not an experience I'd like to have.  I joke about how I wouldn't mind
something happening to the 200q20v so I could transplant the motor and wiring
harness to the Urquattro, but in truth I finally have the 200 set up pretty
much the way I want and am quite happy with it.  Aside from this smoke thing,
about all I need to do is replace the turbo side motor mount and have the K24
rebuilt.  Heh, what do you expect running beyond the turbo's specified boost
curve?  ;-).
