not always true - there have been folks with 95 S6s who found this to 
be false ;-(

ECU is completely different, much more diagnostic capability and 
UrS4/S6 came with "overboost" option to 227hp...

early 01Es, yes, but 95.5 S6 01E is one of the strongest that Audi has made

and heavier....

debatable, yes, they don't seem to have a similar weak spot in the 
instrument cluster such as the 200, but they also (other than the 
1992) dont have the multifunction trip computer or boost gauge...;-)
