~FWIW, Audi still seems to be doing something like this with its "low" vs.
~"high" output 1.8t motors.  I.e., the high output apparently runs a CR of
~8.9:1 and a K04 turbo to make 225hp/165kW & 280Nm/207 ft-lb while the "low"
~output 1.8t runs a 9.5:1 CR with the smaller K03 to make 180bhp/132kW and
~235Nm/173 ft-lb.

~Why, lower compression?
