I'd suggest that the 3" exhaust is a limiting factor on this motor. I
have a lot of these mods (K26/27 turbo, 7A cam, RS2 goodies) to mine
and have a 3" turbo back exhaust. At full throttle on a long pull near
redline it makes that sound that all normally aspirated cars w/
inadequate exhaust systems make. It goes like stink, but I think it
could do better. OTOH, going larger would mean that I'd loose torque
down low.

Maybe it's time to explore my exup idea with an oval profile exhaust...
