Never.

Interesting idea, though I think you'd have to use original oversize
pistons from a 2.6l engine.  Mahle's oversize pistons - according to
Mahle - don't change the cc of the engine.  The gudgeon pin (wrist
pin) position and the crown depression are adjusted so the net
characteristics of the pot don't change from stock.

> Oh, how was the 20 year Uri Treffen?

Pretty wonderful.  250+ ur-quattros in a single procession through the
German countryside.

As an aside, we've persuaded Audi to provide ur-quattro parts support
until at least 2017AD.  Also expect new openness with regard to
documentation.
