[A4] turbo upgrades

[Rocky Mullin]

	mmm, snow driving.

	what i did, until finances derailed me, was have a nice, basic,
chipped 1.8t avant (still have it) and a killer '83 ur-quattro, with an
MC engine swap, chipped.  THAT fucker was for the big grins.

	so, get an URQ, or a 4kQ, drop in an MC i5 (if not the 20v i5!)
and use it as a play car.

	also, i ride motorcycles, so i'm never short on thrills.
