Is that 12 psi with the stock KH oil-cooled K26?

Word on the street is that the KH (? I think) is a good move, the one that
had highest compression 9:1 (??)....I know of one converted ury like this
running 12 lbs boost, I think that was the common euro setup on some year
5k.......runs fast

Yes, it's that easy... but you must remap the ECU to accomodate the
compression increase.  It's also a good time to get things set up for a
water cooled turbo as well.

One question then: you just swap the engine block and head, and keep ALL the
ancilliaries of the WX ? CIS, IM, EM, all the works ? It is THAT easy ?
