Yes- this is the solution! If you can find an automatic Type 44 wagon, this 
would be more straightforward than the tranny swap.  You will get plenty of 
power out of a chipped and tuned MC-1 for this application.

I tend to agree with aforementioned Volvo option too, but gotta admit, these 
cars sound and drive  way cheap compared to even the 10 year older type44 - 
I know, as my sister has had 3 relatively new Volvos ( '98 - 2003) and 
eveytime I ride with her I am forced to hold my tongue on how cheap the 
thing feels - at least compared to the T44 Audis.

If I was after a 5 cyl turbo 2wd wagon with auto I'd look for a nice 
condition t44 wagon with and auto and then swap in a turbo engine. It is a 
well documented swap and probably easier than swaping a 2wd auto into a t44 
quattro.
I probaly would not look to mate a 20v to the t44 automatic becuase they 
were not real strong trannies.
I have several Audi repair manuals the infer the 92 -94 S4 came with an auto 
but never have seen one. I wonder if the 92 -94 100 auto tranny would mate
to the 20v engine?

Enjoy
