RE: A4 1.8T

[Peter Henriksen <peterhe@microsoft.com>]

I know it's only somewhat relevant, but the 4 in the BTCC cars puts out
over 300hp without turbocharging. I know they probably tear that engine
down after every race, but it says something about engine reliability.

That said, I would probably opt to stay around 200-220hp... Now if I
could just get my hands on a 1.8t and talk my wife into the necessity of
tuning it :-)
