Re: Next Mod for my 200Q?



First of all, thanks to all those who responded. I now have years of work to
do. I'd like to summarize what I heard, just to see if I've missed anything.

To improve performance in my TAP-modified 1990 Quattro , I can try the
following (I think in order of price):

	* Advance the cam timing approx one tooth	
	* Install a 3" downpipe to help turbo spin up faster
	* Install a less restrictive exhaust system
	* Install a K24 turbo charger

What I notice right away is that no one suggested more boost. When I
installed the WG Spring, boost peaked at 14.5lbs. TAP suggested no more than
that. However, I was told that the spring will fatique, and that I should
monitor boost with an analog gauge. This brings up two questions:

	* Can I simply increase boost a bit more? I notice that Igor
	  has 18lbs. That should be significant.
	* Where is a good place to mount a boost gauge, and do I
	  simply connect it with a T to the hose going into the ECU?

Thanks,
MikeC
