V8 in 90Q or 80Q

[Richard Hoffman]

Actually, it fits!  This gentleman did a 3.6L v8 into an 80Q and then twin
turboed it.  Claimed 400+ hp and I have heard figures on this car as low as
4.5 seconds.  http://www.audischrauber.de/

There is a surprising amount of room in the typ89 engine bay when you start
smooshing stuff in there.  Yes, you have to relocate a lot of equipement,
but isn't the end result worth it?  Oh BTW this is a very
difficult/expensive swap to do: dollar for dollar any 5-cylinder turbo will
make more power.

My $.02
