Congrats Marques!  We know you have been working for a long time on this.  I 
know what this swap is like - BTDT several times with this and similar. 
Always worth it in the end, even though sometime you begin to regret it 
during the process..

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.
