[urq] A2 Rally FI

[Justin]

    I always thought Audi remained with CIS so late was maybe to keep the
car costs down at the time.  EFI systems back then were probably three times
what they are worth now...the cost of the quattro transmission and
supporting parts with a EFI system maybe put the cost of car line over
target....(just a thought...)

    It is interesting to examine the early Volvo's, Saab's, etc...they all
have EFI with mass air flow meters, transmission coolers, internal
wastegates...etc, quite an acomplishment for the day I think.  Also, Saab
had Direct Ignition on their 89-on 9000 turbo's,.... several years before
Audi.
