Re: Audi Turbo Diesel has K-24!?!?

[Todd Phenneger <phen9461@uidaho.edu>]

WHat,
	AN NOS unit from Audi.  I must be reading this wrong.  When I see
NOS I see Nitrous Oxide.  What else could this stand for.  And if I am

General consensus from the list seems to be leave the TD K-24 alone.  Oh
well.  L8R
