turbo conversion help

[ed armstrong]

Vincent,

I am in the middle of a turbo conversion to a 90q. 
You should first check out Javads write up on this:

http://marcswanson.ne.mediaone.net/~jshadzi/80_turbo.html

This will give you an idea of what involved.

As far as time and money, it will take you about 2-4
months working weekends, and about $1500-2500. I
currently have ~$600 in this project but there still
is a lot more to purchase. 

First thing you need to acquire is a good MC turbo
motor, an engine hoist, and the Bently manual if you
are not familiar with Audis.

Good luck.
