 From what I've read, and understand about the G60, it really doesn't
have the volumetric efficiency to move the amount of air necessary
to 'pump-up' a 2L.  Know what I mean? ;)  I think the largest commonly
recommended engine for a G60 charger would be the 1.9L.  You could
probably get this displacement with the G60 crank with some lower
compression 82.5mm or 83mm pistons (stock & 2nd 2L overbore).
