	Wow, another KH owner! You and I must be the only ones on the
	list. Anyway, the cheapest solution is to get a stiffer wastegate
	spring: a fellow netter (Charlie Smith) had a batch made up a
	year or so ago, and they cost $20 a piece.  I don't know if
	he can get any more wound, but I'm told that the spring on
	UrQ's ('81-'84 Audi Coupe Quattros) is very similar (I have
	this on the authority of Steve Buchholz).

	Subjectively, it feels like about a 10-15% gain -- and I always
	thought the car was quite sprightly even in stock form.

	Good luck!
