[urq] 20vt ur-q Backfires - Thoughts?

[Rich Letsinger]

I'm with you guys too.  But I don't think it's the
turbo.  I ran my 3B with exactly the same K24 as was
on my MC before the conversion.  The 10v had a
mechanical sound and almost a warble to the exhaust
note that the 20v doesn't have.  I'm guessing it's in
the exhaust manifold, where the wastegate layout
created that particular sound.  I miss it.
