[V6-12v] A6 2.8 to 4.2 conversion

[brandon&trenna adams]

Anything can be done. I saw Jay Lenno had a huge V8 turbo placed into a 69
toronado and changed it to rear wheel drive using new corvette
underpinnings. Only Jay Lenno could afford to do this though. He was trying
to build a car as cool as theBently Continental or something for less $. I
doubt he did it for less. 
If this project costs more than $5000 including the cost of a good newer
engine, It's too much $ for this car. Ican get an allroad with third seat
and place a couple ko4 turbos, chip it, and be happy with 300+ hp.
The real need to do this is stupid to be honest. My wife won't allow me to
back in age for the car, keeping the 95.5 s6 out. We insist on the third
seat, I insist on more power. (I had a 91 20020v before) And I need to stay
with a quattro (once you go quattro...) 
So, What about a compressor of some type? I realize the problems with the
ecu tuning of this car. Could I use Javads fueler to supplement fuel needs?
If so,I could get a supercharger or have some headers made and add a turbo
or two turbos. What are the thoughts on my quest for power in a car not
intended for it?
Thanks, BA
