Message	HICAS, adj suspension, different gearing ratios, wider rear rims, etc. A stage 3 TT ($1,500 max over a TT price) will run those numbers all year long. That car will not be running 11psi in the summer, the heat will cause detonation. I'm all for the project and support their work, but the "haters" aren't jealous, just jaded (and possibly cynical). The savings over selling an NA and buying a TT vs. this conversion are not great. I know some people are married to their NA, so then this makes sense. Personally, I'd like to see a supercharger similar to Wagz A4: [ http://www.pes-tuning.com/oldsite/index.html ] (select superchargers, then Audi/VW). No enigne pull for this type of project, but still expensive as a new plenum is required. Then on the Z there are other issues, like the throttle cables are in the way. Again, not hating, but it isn't significantly cheaper to buy an NA and do this vs buy a TT and go to stage 3.
