Re: 5ktq Problems

Sorry,
	By no boost I meant, no positive pressure above atmospheric
pressure.  I consider that no boost since 1.0 bar is 0psi.  But it does go
to 1.1 sometimes so I guess it is getting a couple pounds of boost at
times.  It is slow but not a dog.  About as fast as a stock 4kq in 2nd and
3rd gear.  NOt sure about 4th adn 5th since I haven't driven it on highway
yet.  
	Thanks though.  L8R
