My KH specs came from the '84 Audi 5000 brochure.  Perhaps it's a misprint,
but it does say 8.0:1 CR.  As to water cooled turbos on the KH, I guess
it's
possible that Audi phased in some in '85;

Yah, it must be a misprint. The Bentley says 8.3:1 in the tech data
section. I just hope the brochure is wrong...About the water-cooled turbos,
the fam album says any '85 from vin: 034 552 and up should have the new
water-cooled design. I can verify, b/c I have an '85 w/ water-cooling. The
KH and MC versions show different part numbers though. I wonder if it's
just a different compressor trim or what??

I had an '85 5kst with KH motor and the watercooled turbo. Had a 10/84
build date. I figured
this out when I discovered that a p.o. had bypassed the after run pump with
a T connection.
