K24 on 1.8T was what color is my K24

[Bruce Bell]

The back of my matchbook says it will take VE=90%, a density
ratio of 2.6 at 6500 rpm to achieve 326 hp in a 1.8 liter motor.
Working backward I'd guess we're looking at 2.8-3.0 bar absolute
at the manifold assuming CE=72% and IC around 90%. I'm no expert
on reading boost maps but that 475 Cu/ft/min or .224
cu/meters/sec. looks to be off the k24 map. Did I do the math
right?

VE does rule, the WX at 5500 rpm has a VE=~66% while the WR is
close to 75%. If you think about it you'd have to run 18 psi in a
WX to get the same 200 hp produced by a WR with only 12.5 psi.
The same 18 psi in a WR should make 230+ hp.

Anyone have a WR cam they would like to sell?
