Yes, this addresses the reliability problems. I have been running this setup now for over 2 years with countless autocrosses running the full 400RWHP at them problem free.
When suping these up tuning is the key. Keeping them running rich and using conservative timing is the key. Getting greedy and trying to wring out every last horse is what kills these cars.
I cannot wait to see that deisel Audi run at Lemans.
The Rotary that won the Lemans in 1993 its first time out was duly banned the next year. Roatries are the Rodney Dangerfield of racing in some aspects.
