20-valve "bite"

[William Elliott <William.Elliott@mail.mei.com>]

Since I have an 85 UrQ and have only driven 4kq's and UrQ's "sportingly", I 
have no experience with "spider" bites.  (Of course, from a strictly 
theoretical aspect, I do understand the arguments.)  
However, if the continuing discussion (highly entertaining, BTW) is able to 
finally prove the absolute unsuitability of Torsens in high performance 
applications, then maybe I can pick up an S4/S6 for a ridiculously low price.  
(I was very disheartened to find that Torsen UrQ's categorically don't exhibit 
the "bite" symptoms as I would much prefer one of those. ;-)  )

To further my goal of a cheap S4 in the next few months, I suggest we begin 
discussions of the absolute unsuitability of turbocharged  20-valve engines in 
high performance applications.  

Related threads concerning the undesirability of any other "advances" made 
since 1985 would also be helpful. ;-)

Willing to face the spider in a cheap S4, but not taking sides....
