	I am not sure.  I wish I did but I think the people that know like
to keep the secret so they can make a living.  They can't give away all
their secrets.

	Yes, 3rd is a fun gear in a 5ktq with 1.8 to 2.0 bar.  I love that
feeling of un relenting power.  I think for most, 1.8 to 2.0 is plenty.
But if you hit the track or are addicted to power like me, that is not
enough.  :)  I'm sick.

	Yes but not all k26s are the same for instance.  The K26 in a 5ktq
is very different than the one in the 944 turbo.  And the K27 in Sport Q
is probably different than the one in the 911Turbo.  WHat was the IMSA
cars Turbo.  Based on K29 maybe???   Anyhow, I would love to see those
figures if you have them but they will change with different applications
and versions or the same unit.   L8R
