94 S4 K24 or K27 installation on an MC1 89 200TQ

[Todd Phenneger]

I put a k24 and Dynalynx manifold on my 5ktq.  The car became
MUCH more drivable.  Boost was available at 2k RPM with full
boost by 3k RPM.  It was much easier and more fun to drive. 
However, your high end loss of boost pressure will not be cured.
 I actually did the Turbo first, then did the manifold and I
gained back the top end I lost when I put the Manifold on, but
before that I did lose a little on the high end.
  However, I would not but the k27 on there.  If you do you'll
never go anywhere.  Unless you plan to build the motor to say
2.3l, with high flow head, custom EM, etc then I wouldn't mess
with that k27.
