THE QUEST: Looking for cheap 20v turbo motor

[SuffolkD at aol.com]

Brett et al:
The lure of the 3B into the smaller chasis is the quest for a more nimble / 
lighter car - (like the 4000Q) with much more power.  Kent Anderson (KAR of 
Minn.,) had a stripped 5000Tq "track car for sale at a reported ~2700 lbs" a few 
years ago, which is the near stock weight of the 4000Q.  Both the 90 Coupes 
and the 200's are porkers in terms of weight, which lead us to seek those older 
"nimble" & lighter chasis in the ever consuming quest for going faster using 
the 2.2L Audi I-5.

My question is why doesn''t someone put the 1.8T at ~225 HP into a 4000Q?
or tweek it to about 280 which is chipped 3B land?

Either Car and Driver or Motor Trend (years ago) chopped metal off an old 
Cadillac Eldorado to see what the weight loss would translate into at the 
dragway.  The results were incouraging.
