Anyone do a 1.8T into a 4000CS Quattro?

[Mark J. Besso]

Huw, Mark, etc.,

I have a suspicion that the 1.8T wouldn't provide enough low-end torque to 
feel as gutsy as the original engine.  I know the horsepower/torque figures 
listed for the 1.8T are impressive, but that doesn't always translate to 
good drivability.

The more I read what I've written the less sense it makes.  I wish I could 
word my response better, but I'm at a loss.
