The wikipedia page on the 914 2.0 states:
70 kW (95 PS; 94 hp) (US) 74 kW (101 PS; 99 hp) (RoW) Thats a significant difference. Is that due to the RON 91 petrol used in the US, or are the smog regulations the main reason. And if it's smog regulations, is there a way to 'undo' them? |

Euro pistons add about .5 of a compression point.
all you have to do it tear down the motor and change pistons for 5 hp!!!!! |
