[BiturboS4] Re: audi coupe quattro tubi turbo?

[Michael Kuriger]

I did a hack job on my very rare 1991 isuzu impulse RS for the same
reasons.  it's just a car and now it's a lot more fun and it's a car I
built myself.  good luck on your engine swap.

also, at car shows and engine swap geta a lot of points :-)
