Turbo Diesel

Looks like it's in the 16:1 to 19:1 range for VW diesels... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Volkswagen_Group_diesel_engines#6

The compression ratio thing is surely an oversight. I'm sure they don't intend diesel engines to run less than 12.5:1 compression. I wouldn't mind though since I'll never run a diesel and it'll just slow you guys down. ;)

That is definitely something that needs to be addressed by the STAC though. I would write a letter requesting at minimum clarification of the compression, and what applies to diesels since they're a completely different beast than a gasoline or even turbo gasoline engine.

I completely agree; I missed that one point. I'll write a request and bring it up at our next meeting.

Anything else?

This "allowance" - might it be an opportunity to get the ABF European 2.0 16v listed in the same generation Golf...?

Don't know that engine, but the CRB has spoken loudly and clearly against non-USDM market engines, and you already have numerous options for various OEM turbo-4s so...not likely.
