K24 on 1.8T was what color is my K24

[JShadzi at aol.com]

No way, hp is hp, and air is air, the 1.8 can't make more power with less displacement.  Any turbo in a motor with less displacement is going to have to work A  LOT harder to make the same power as in a large/r displacement motor...assuming the smaller motor is not increadibly more efficeient or an F1 motor etc.

Again, I'm thinking its not your garden variety AAN K24, if it is.
