It's official, a 2.3 4000 quattro is amazing....

Don't know...I've driven a 4kq with a stock new engine (former engine blew 
and the guy had the dealer replace) and it was nice and smooth, but 
DEFINITELY not torquey.  Huw's 89 90 with an NG is very torquey and he can 
snap my head back if he shifts quickly enough.  So, I guess my answer would 
be "some in the rebuild, but most in the NF"...But then again, I don't know 
anything...
