A4 turbo size?

Guys,

	I looked at a 1.8T A4 today at the Detroit Auto show.  I had a 
hard time finding the turbocharger.  Turns out that the hot side is 
soooooo small, it is barely any bigger than the bearing housing!  The 
cold side is a little larger.  There were no markings to indicate the 
origin of the turbo on the display engine.  The wastegate was integral to 
the turbo hot side.  There did appear to be a little room for a larger 
turbo in there.  There was very little room to upgrade the intercooler 
though.  That might worry me a little.  Overall though, the car is very 
nice indeed.  I think that a twin turbo 2.8 V6 is the way to go though.  
I'd love to try it....   (Just thinkin' here)

	The Auto Union Grand Prix car was very impressive.  520hp in a 
car that has 3.25" wide wheels!
