(1.8t PHOOIE!!!!) Turbo 4000Q conversion idea

[passat TS]

[ Converted text/html to text/plain ]

So, with all the inside information, you probably know about the Fornula
Palmer.

I think that Audi would not use the 1.8T engine, granted with the TT
improvements, in this formula, unless they are confident on its performance.
Last year they didn't have a single mechanical failure.

and yes, they put 250hp on normal boost with an allowed 8 uses of the
overboost to... guess what... 300hp.

I don't want to create an issue here, and I'm stopping right here.

Cheers,

Carlos.
