20vt Header

I wanted to keep the stock location for few reasons.
The stock plumbing can be used, not only for exhaust but also for intake,
water and oil.
And a stock airbox can be kept. Yes, a turbo in the wheelwell looks
spectacular but that's not what I was after.
Yes, RS2 turbo can be used and I do believe stock plumbing can be used.
I don't have any costing yet, still waiting to see what few fabricators
comeback with.
No pics of that 2 door... maybe at our next quattro meeting.
Cheers
