I agree that after 2.0 - 2.2 bar, you need at least a K26, but I'd start
with an RS2 turbo instead.  I'm really starting to think the K26 is really
mismatched to the 2.2I5.  I think the displacement is perhaps just too small
to effectively push this turbo.  Any of you 944t owners have a comment?  At
2.5l, how is the k26 experience?
