Stupid 200 TQA Questions

[David Head]

Scott J (qshipq), Ned Ritchie and Ivor (TAP) all sell upgrades - sport turbo,
RS2 turbo, etc. Remember, if you go to a 'big' turbo you lose some low end and
gain some lag. TAP sells single pass sealed intercoolers, Dialynx sells a charge
(air-water) cooler, Spearco sells units that can be fitted, or will do a custom
one. A good upgrade is the 20V turbo cooler - a single pass bolt in. Ned will do
custom 10V chips - you buy a standard one and as you upgrade higher, he'll go
back and customize it for you - one main reason why we recommend him so highly.
His customer service and knowledge is only matched by Lehman. If you want to go
big bucks, Lehman'll do a 5-600hp motor and ecu for you for about $12K...
