Frank, you are right! I just wanted to impress on Eduardo that a 1600cc Volkswagen engine is definitely NOT suited for his elevation. When I put pen to paper, his elevation is actually 9500 feet. Looking at the map, within 50-100 miles he has peaks of 20000+ feet. I don't know if even a turbo'ed 2180 would do. Joachim Ft. Worth, Texas
