4kq turbo project- clutch questions

[Todd Phenneger]

Hmm,
  Many listers that Own 84 - 85 5k Turbos will beg to differ I'm
afraid.  My Ekta shows 84-85, as does the Bently, and the Vin
and built plaque on my 85' 5kt.  
  Just no quattro till 86.   And that said, I believe there were
a few 5-speed 5kt's around but I could be mistaken.  But, the MC
flywheel will work fine in this application.  I'm using a ur-q
flywheel on my KH which retard timing 6deg I think.  Could be
off a little.  Its one tooth off though I think.
