I can understand the "big" turbo on a 9-5 Aero being smaller than similar on say an old C900, but that should make it easier to get off the line. I know that European C900's got a lot higher compression than US models, which made them a lot more "driveable" off boost, and my new convertible seems perkier than my old '84, so I guess it has the Mistu rather than the Garrett turbo. I wonder if the US 9-5 Aero was a lower compression beasty too, which made it more sluggish -- Carl Robson Car PC Build starts again. http://smallr.com/rz Homepage: http://www.bouncing-czechs.com
