Just happen to have last month E.C. handy - here's the ad: "Bolt-on variable valve timing for VW 8V, Audi 10V Turbo/NT and Porsche 924 Increas your engine's HP by 15-20% by automatically advancing and retarding the camsahft 8' (-3' to +5'). For product literature and dyno test, send $1 and LSASE to: Franco Industries Attn: George Franco 6693 Alcala Knolls Dr. San Diego, CA 92111 (619) 292-7949" The punctuation is misleading, but it looks like they only offer for the turbo Audis. Find out. The ad does not mention cost. -- Andrew L. Duane (JOT-7) duane@zk3.dec.com Digital Equipment Corporation (603)-881-1294 110 Spit Brook Road M/S ZKO3-3/V08 Nashua, NH 03062-2698
