Sean:  Yay!! Your car finally arrived!!  That took long enough!! I am
sure that you do find a difference from your 90 20V NA. (lighter vs
heavier, shorter wheel base vs longer wheel base, turning radius,
etc).  Fred Munro's points are well taken, re: potential boost
problems.  Even if things are fine, I would suggest never driving around
town in fifth gear.  Fourth is much better. If you want more snap and
are willing to sacrifice some fuel economy around town, I suggest
driving in 3rd gear.  This can get you into and out of trouble quickly
enough in 3rd (good for highly illegal in-town speeds).

Yes we'll have another Vancouver UrS car get together real soon.  There
is at least one more new owner in Vancouver that I have been in contact
with.  He posts on Audi(doodi)World and bought Bob V.'s "friends" real
92 Cyclamen S4 (an ex-Audi Canada ZZZ VIN auto show/demo car that
escaped the crusher).  I understand that it needs alot of work and TLC.
The new owner is keen to do most of it himself  - so you might be able
to share the Blau timing belt tool rental costs with him.
