1991 Audi 200T Auto-tranny Qs

[L DC]

Thanks Cody!!
 
I take it the 016 flywheel on the stock set-up on my QSW (same as Audi 4KQ) would not work as it would be missing the timing pin?
 
Interestingly enough, when I did a clutch job on my '85 QSW, I recall the fly-wheel having a couple of pins in it, which at that time I was told (maybe even on this forum) the pins were probably used at the factory for install of the flywheel.
 
Separately, you told me that you had aborted the idea of building an EFI kit to plug and play as you have had quite some experience on the matter. Have you thought of re-taking this idea to fruition?
 
I already have a candidate for this; my old '86 5KTQ, and if I do buy this auto-tranny turbo car to do a swap into one of my QSWs, I would have two candidates for you :) 
 
Best Regards,
 
-Louis

Auto transmission cars don't have a flywheel, they have a flex-plate. You'd need a flywheel for the swap. Use one from from a 7A or 3B engine as they are about 10lbs lighter.
