RE: VR6

["Perry, Chris" <perryc@wdni.com>]

Yeah, I'll probably just do the 10v turbo transplant but, call me a
masochist, I think a VR6 90q would be a fun project. Personally I think the
VR6 is way cooler than the 12v Audi v6 and it seems there are more
performance mods for it.
Anyway, enough daydreaming, I am going to start planning a 10v turbo swap.
That is unless I can find a killer deal on a 20v turbo. :^)

Thanks for all the input,
