I suspect others would share my desire to see the design when you're done.  Any chance you can put a copy on the urquattro yahoo group.  If you send to me I can post ...

I spent a lot of time on the phone, in the car, at the track, and at the house of Charlie's tech Mike from Sewickly Audi back in the 10vt build years.  The two of us consumed many beers discussing various mods, including a few napkin drawings  and mock-ups, as we tried in vain to redesign the shift linkage to be short throw *and* short gate, figured out the former giving up on the latter.   Charlie used to put the tires on the roof rack, and drive the machine to various Quattro Club track events.  In 10vt turbo trim, it had a 'pre-RS2" Ned Ritchie turbo, and a bigger IC that was laid almost flat, with a fan on the IC itself.  At Grattan in the mid 90's, I tore into the turbo plumbing to fix an air leak.   Mike eventually moved from Audis to Locomotives (tired of tight engine bays?), and shortly after that, the RS2 work was done, including the floor pan to take the dual cats.
