I did. The Adrian's with Hoppen and mine with the [borrowed for a test drive]
Wett at Mt. Washington a fortnight ago.

Alas, no comparison even with my chipped L-5 10vt, let alone the 20vt.
While both chips did make the A4 slightly more entaitaining to drive, the 1.8
engine and its tiny snail ran out of steam at the point where my 200 would be
accelerating like a runaway train. I can only imagine how much fun is your
chipped 20v 200, Sarge.

In orger to get the same level of performance out of my A4T I am probably
looking at a TAP stage 5 kit or something like that.
