5K w/ S6 IC?

[LL - NY]

The 200 20VT IC is a MUCH better IC than the UrS car IC. It's larger, still
single pass, and locates in a much better location (in front by the grille) than
at least the stock location of the UrS (and for that matter, the B5 S4) IC's.
Probably it's greatest asset vs. the UrS IC's is it's frontal surface
area, which
is more than double the UrS. The fact that it's nearly a bolt in fit to a 5KQ
makes it more so. It's biggest problem is it's relative rarity,
although I do believe
that some lister's have had success making the stock 10VT IC into a single 
pass unit. Then the difficulty lies in plumbing in the Bypass valve.
