Whatever, but isn't the down time not really worth the difference in HP?
You got a late type 44 turbo car, probably get $5,000 if you sold it NOW,
buy a clean 86 - 88 5kcstq for $3,500ish, most likely already chipped, and
live life as hassle free as a 5kcstq will let you, enjoying 14 psi and
quattro.

Just a suggestion.  Let your conscience be your guide...
