Turbo in Coupe GT retrofit

[David]

There is a guy over on AudiWorld in the 4K/CGT forums that just finished having a MC dropped into his 87.5 CGT. He reports only minor torque steer and GOBS of power. Now the 87.5 used the 092 transmission, rather than the traditional 093 found in other CGTs. The 092 was built using larger inner CV-joint hubs, like those used on the later Audi's. I'm not sure if the 092 has the openings for the timing sensors or not.
