[A4] Engine swap to a V8 (was: Re: and speaking of chips/ECUs)

[Rocky Mullin]

wow!  i'm not sure i understand why someone would upgrade an A4
to an S4 V8... just get an S4, right?  but hey.

one of the old quattro guys put a vette V8 into a 5000 quattro.
i did a basic engine swap of a later model 10v turbo 5 into my
ur-quattro.
