[urq] UrQ Advice wanted

[Bob]

Ive heard this is a really good thing to do for a lot of reasons (knock
sensor, hyd head, WC turbo etc). However, I have a couple issues:
1) Im guessing its a lot more expensive and more downtime
2) Im actually kind of partial to the UrQ motor (And I have *NO* good reason
for this)
3) I know the condition of my motor and its almost perfect. Getting a used MC
adds a lot of variables.

Since Im not looking for 500hp (OK, maybe I am) I thought a quick and easy
turbo/intercooler/chip mod would keep me happy for quite some time. All that
shold give me upwards of 270hp, which should put a grin on my face.
