The Callaway turbo kit as featured on VW & Porsche was a 60p gain on
the 1985 CGT (KX engine) from 110hp to 170hp.

Over $3000 of hardware, 10 psi of boost, and a 2-second gain in
0-60mph acceleration doesn't come about with only 10hp more.

Consider Audi's 1984 KH turbo engine at 140hp vs. 100hp for the same
year's WU non-turbo engine, and the 1986 MC turbo engine's 162hp vs.
the 110hp of the KZ non-turbo.  Then Callaway conversion fares quite
well in comparison...

The urQ is already turbocharged (160hp in US trim stock), it doesn't
make sense to put a Callaway kit on it.
