Think it was Peter.  I remember that -- didn't think it was from a dead
stop though.  Those turbo motors are great. I'm defending myself currently
in  a thread on the GTI list on my stand that the 1.8T motor out of an A4
would be a preferable motor to the VR6 in a GTI (sacrilege!).

Between weight (the 1.8T has an Al block, right?), tunability, and torque,
it would be great.

Of course, the VR6 has a timing _chain_!
