[s-cars] Re: wrt pushing RS2 to the edge...

[Joseph Pizzimenti]

Well, this was sparked by a rather vocal argument I
had with someone about water injection recently.  I
was asking his advice and he has experience with B5
S4's and 3000GT VR-4's, etc...he basically said I was
stupid to run 28psi without race gas.

Is there any way I can datalog ignition timing or
intake air temperature with VAG-COM?
