re: direct injection

[Jay Negrin <jmnegrin@domain.elided>]

And, Ryan, for what it's worth, the VW Turbo Diesel is *also* direct
injecion.  The designation I have seen it TDI, which stands for, I
believe, Turbo, Direct Injection.

Is there something about Direct Injection, compression or spark
ignition, that makes things *that* much better/  I guess.....

76 Alfetta GT - the only direct injection it gets is the irregular
infusion of parts and/or money to keep it on the road.  All willingly
done in the name of fun and adventure. (mandatory, though limited, Alfa
content)

non-turbo of course. ;>

> Wait a minute, doesn't the new VW 1.8 put out 190hp? I'd say that's
mass produced engine, or are you just talking about non-turbo engines?

ps. VW 1.8L 20v turbo -> 180 HP, more impressive is their 1.9L Turbo
Diesel that makes 150 HP and more torque than an Audi S4.. all while
getting roughly 50mpg.. ah man :>
