Turbos and IC's

Carl has gone motronic, but for a different reason, he sold the 5ktq and
bought a Dinan 5.  However, his old car runs a modified CIS system, RS2 turbo,
and REALLY big IC.  Max boost pressure is 26psi, but hardly necessary, it runs
15 most of the time, and that's plenty.  

Not to put Ned or I out of business on turbos, but if you haven't addressed
the IC, you are looking for the chicken before the egg.  5000/200tq cars need
IC's and fuel before you 'need' a bigger/better/faster turbo.  Learning the
'egg' with a new head gasket isn't fun, nor necessary.  You can play safely
with 2.0bar boosted cars for a really long time.  Start topping 2.2bar,
especially on a 10vt with miles, time becomes very short.
