OK, so how can someone who has never worked on a CD4E call it a turd?

I think that you'll end up with the best bang for buck doing it this way. I ran a V6/ATX combo for a few years and spent my money on suspension, brakes, wheels, and just an SVT exhaust and while it wasn't as quick as a manual would be, it more than got out of its own way and with the improvements in handling and braking, it was still a lot of fun.

The entire point I was trying to make is you just don't go throwing things together haphazardly. (well at least shouldn't  ) You should do some homework.
You had one very good and clear point in your post.
"Everything's speculation until you look at a compressor map."
I couldn't agree more. In fact I even stated it discreetly myself in the post you quoted didn't I. Another point of my post. 
Okay, okay, you know compressor maps, and I did notice that. Hmmm, I don't know what to say other than, on a much more poorly flowing 2.3T can do 280 to the wheels or slightly better with a T3. It's certainly not the same thing though, but I happen to believe that if it works it works, you can only find out what's best by tryin it yourself.

Tom doesn't need to post a video of his being slower than me. I believe that fact just fine without it. Seriously though. The only races I'd do against Tom would be 0-60mph and autocross. He's sandbagging that car a ton with his driving.
