Nik:
You'll probably get more responses to this post, but the way I understand it
is that the K24 is a smaller unit (smaller diameter) than the K26 which came
on the 5K's.  This results in less lag, but may also give less potential
boost (probably not noticable due to the wastegate).  I have heard something
about the K26 being less susceptible to detonation (knocking) in high
altitude areas, but I'm not sure about that.  As far as other mods necessary
to make the change work, I don't know of any.  One thing - most 200's (which
used the K24) were equipped with the dual knock sensor setup (this would tie
in to the detonation thing, I would guess.  I don't know if the lack of a
second sensor will create any kind of problem.
