Re: Turbo Quattro Coupe: K26 vs K24

[Paul.J.Timmerman@jpl.nasa.gov]

Glenn,

I have not done, but have monitored the list
for discussion by those who have, or would/would not.

Advantages of K24

	V8 style torque from way down near 2000 rpms.
	Water cooling
	Bolt in, except for new oil and water hoses.

Disadvantages

	Smaller Unit Than K-26
	Poorer compressor efficiencey at high flow
	Hotter turbo outlet temperatures at high flow
	Less dense air charge at high flow.

All of this being said, for most american style
driving, and an otherwise unmodifed motor, it can
still work pretty well.  Ned is not selling them any
more and is pushing RS2's which flow better up top.
Glenn Powell really likes his, but it is a trade off...

I have one sitting on my shop bech I would part with.
