Hi list, I'd like to swap my 200q20v for an RS6, but all the ones I 
find are $80k.  Can anyone hook me up at finding one for 40k?  Must 
have low miles.

Anyway...

The k26 is not the proper turbo for the 20v turbo.  It's larger, but 
less efficient and takes longer to spool up.

There is little point to putting a 3B or AAN into an older type 44. 
Buy a 200q20v- it's a healthy step up in almost every 
regard(including weight, but you'll live).  It will be better than 
any 5000 you've ever driven, and I speak from extensive personal 
experience.
