Having worked in VW dealers for the last 10+ years, Mike knows more than most 
of the VW engineers do. If Mike says it, I believe it. For example, how many of 
us autoxers knew that the hyd head was legal in DSP? Its amazing the amount of 
worthless info he stores in that big head of his but somebody has got to know 
the anwsers! Ive also looked into the prospects of using a 10-1 block in my 
Scirocco. It would at least make the powerplants equal in power between the 
Scirocco and the GTi in DSP. But, its not to be! (Wishfull thinking failed me 
again!)
