Subject: I love my Audi 2.0L engine!

I must admit that the Audi 80 4 cylinder that I installed in my Double
Cab
is terrific.  All the power is at lower RPMs than the boxer.  This
actually
pushes you into the seat if you step on it when taking off.  I can now
spin
gravel which is pretty amazing for a Syncro!  Fuel economy is great!  On
my
8 hour trip to Vancouver I got 12L / 100km driving a constant 110km/h
and
passing everyone when I could and gunning it up the hills - this is also

with the canopy which sticks upa good 25cm above the roof line.
Temprature
is lower than the wasserboxer with the needle below the red LED all the
time.  Driving a constant 90km/h on the level this figure goes down to
10L
/ 100km with no change in the temp.  Timing is set to 8 deg BTDC and CO
is
at 1.5% at 950rpm idle - no cat!.  Ron's Parts Inc said that my setup is

good for a conservate 125hp at 5200 rpm and torque is 130@2600 rpm.  I
was
also amazed at the amount of people who are interested in my swap at the

Great Canadian VW Show on Sunday!  Lots of questions and lot of very
amazed
people!
