[Vwdiesel] Fwd: TDI Vanagon +'Q' talk

[Hayden Chasteen]

VW made a GTD version of the Golf, It had a top mounted intercooler  
with special scooping on the hood to bring in cool air.  All the TDIs  
have intercoolers.  In fact, I don't think anyone making a diesel  
today doesn't use intercooling.  Denser intake charge simply means  
more power.  Hayden
