I don't know about that, but I do know that if you take a 99 Turbo head & turbo, bolt it to a 2.0L B engine set up for naturally aspirated, it's a dog. As in dog freaking slow. Not enough volume to stuff fuel:air into, I'm guessing. After all, output is a function of displacement _and_ compression. Less room to compress into = less power, yes? > Even though the APC could handle lower grade fuel, it was recomended to > use 98RON unleaded in my old 84 T16S.
