[BiturboS4] RE: Hesitation....and now...Catbacks

Dave,

I agree - even the catbacks on the Porsches do not produce more than single
or low dbl digit hp nbrs. Anyone expecting 30 hp/30 lbs of torque gains has
been breathing to many S4 exhaust fumes. The real HP/Torque gains in any
turbo car are achieved thru the replacement of the stock chip.
