[kind of] 93 VW Eurovan

Ummm....since when does a Porsche 944 have a 5 cylinder???
I'd really love to see some pics of a 5 banger 944, do you happen to have
any? Didn't think so....
Eurovan uses a 2.5 5 cylinder, ~110 hp, de-tuned a lot on the top end to
give a slight boost in low end torque to get the heavy Eurovan moving.
Tuning one must be as bad as tuning any N/A 5 cylinder, there's just not
much you can do aside from turbo'ing. You could always put a 10v turbo in
for a nice healthy boost in power and torque, probably about 50% more of
each, though there might be some clearance issues, as the EV motor is a
sidewinder and all the 10vt motors are longitudinal. Then there's always the
good 'ole 50-100hp n2o shot ;)
