2001MY SPECS

Engine: 1.9T
Transversely-mounted, 1.9 liter, 4-cylinder, double overhead cam twin-scroll turbocharger intercooler S
Compression ratio 10.3:1
Horsepower (SAE net) 160 @ 5,100 rpm
Torque (ft./lbs. SAE net) 170 @ 1,800 rpm

WOW! 10.3:1 Compression! Is this the cause of some things stating it has 165hp? Can some check there owners book who has a 2001MY to see if this is correct! I got a 2000MY and mine say's 9:0:1 Compression, Isn't 10.3:1 too high? Forget about adding boost with that kind of compression. Usally LPT has 9:0:1 and HPT have 8.5:1 compression. Just odd to see that kinda Compression. Need racing fuel to run more boost for the 2001MY :(
