[Es2] 20vt conversion using the stock 20v na?

[Brandon Hull]

Sounds like a great track car.  And come to think of it, reminds me of
another homebrew 20vt: wasn't the Tato Racing S2 (George Plsek) a
completely built turbo 5?  I think it was.  I think it ran well, but I
was always surprised they'd done so much development work vs working
from the audi parts bin.  I heard someone in New England bought the car,
often wonder what happened to it.  It was a magnificent build, must've
cost 3X the ask of $30K when they sold it...

Anyhow, as usual anything can be done for a price, but as you suggest,
others who explored the option as potentially cheaper than a
straightforward swap seemed to give up.
