[BiturboS4] Re: audi coupe quattro tubi turbo?

[Ti Kan]

While you are of course free to do whatever you want to do with your
car, I would like to suggest that you keep the UrQuattro original.
At least, don't do such drastic modifications to it.  The UrQuattro is
a classic, and as rare as it is becoming, I'd hate to see it molested.
No matter how fast or "cool" the end result may be.

I think you'd also find that the UrQuattro in its original state will
preserve its value much better than one that has been hacked.

If you want a biturbo-powered car, buy a biturbo powered car as it comes
from the factory (i.e., S4).  If you want to modify the car, then use that
as the basis.  It *will* work better because that's the way it was
designed and built, and you'll probably spend less when it's all done.

Just my opinion.
