4ktq Update

[mholme3 at aol.com]

For those that have been following/helping me along the way..

  Finally got my 4ktq on the road. After burning up two MAC 11's(bad 
fuse box/wiring), I finally got most things sorted out on this car. 
It's an MC1, running CIS with the MAC 11 ECU. I swapped out the k26 for 
a k24 from an S6, used the airbox/igloo/downpipe/intercooler/oil cooler 
 from an UrQ. This car has GOBS of power/torque. I can cruise around in 
fifth gear all day and do double takes at the shifter, all day, because 
I think I'm in third!  It took about 6 weeks of actual work to the car, 
but I researched the swap for quite some time. Things got more 
complicated when I got happy with a cut off wheel and hacked through a 
heater core hose while relocating the battery, but It was most likely 
due for replacement anyway..Still have to hook up the after run for the 
coolant pump(not too worried about the injector cooling) and the 
auxiliary gauges I put in the center vent. Overall, well worth the 
effort. So to anyone that contemplates this swap...Don't contemplate 
too long...DO IT. Thanks to Marc, Alan, Ben, Mike, Javad, just to name 
a few off the top of my head.
