Audi's Future

[DePenning, Charles [EPM/MTN]]

Addition of the intercooler was probably the majority of the hp difference.

I don't think the type 43 turbo was even as sophisticated as the UrQ 
version.  Mine ('83 5kt) had the *same* CIS system as my '82 coupe, and 
as far as I remember the specs, only made 130 hp (correct me, Ti?), as 
opposed to the UrQ's 160? 200?  Hmm, according to audiworld, the ultimte 
resource for 80's Audis, I'm right about the 5kt 130 hp figure, but all 
the UrQ's were 156 hp.
