    I have seen the max MC motor hp #'s with CIS on the list since I
started subscribing. I always believed Javads #'s below to be fairly
accurate.

However, based on a conversation I had with Ken Bennett (of 2Bennett
Audi) just last week,  he was mentioning being able to get 280-300 out
of the MC motor with stock CIS injection?!

Now we did not discuss all the particulars involved (other than bigger
downpipe & exhaust, bigger turbo, and a cam) but the conversation came
about when I mentioned wanting a smog legal EFI (or the name of a smog
shop that will pass the visual portion with 034EFI in place) to start
searching for more power.

Kinda makes me wonder now whats possible.
