Re: How to position your tourque Down Low?

[Anthony Pelletier <vwnuts@yahoo.com>]

If you want all your power below 4,500 get a TDI you
will be very satisfied with the torque curve.

2 things that will build torque.  Displacement and
compression (and a turbo, but thats another post). 
Advancing the cam timing will help put the power more
where you want it.  I would stick to the smaller end
for exhaust too as it will build greater velocity at
lower revs 2" or 2.25"max.  A g-cam would probably be
a good bet.  I'd forget about head work because in the
*old* TT catalog I have their heads didn't make any
difference below 4,500 rpm the gains were all after
that. Of course that was on a 1.8L so a 2.0L might
differ.  

Bang for the $$  shave the head & use a g-cam with 2"
or 2.25" exhaust and a good downpipe
