$3495, cash, cashier's check or money order, no core charge.  Comes "super
complete,"  with injection pump, I & E manifolds, ECU, wiring harness, air
filter assy., flywheel & clutch, injectors, turbochargers, IC & plumbing,
air flow meter, Throttle potentiometer, and "Misc. sensors and more."
    Blurb said that this engine was OEM in European Audi A6's from '95-97,
and the South African Eurovan.  Canadian Eurovan, they say, had an IDI
non-turbo.  They claim it should be able to be made to fit anything that
came with an Audi 5cyl., including the Quantum. (Kindly don't heckle the
messenger here.)
    In small print at the bottom of the page:
    "Bear in mind that this is not a stock conversion and will require some
improvisation.  We will provide you with as much information as we know at
the time you buy the engine, but we will not do it for you, nor will we hold
your hand while you do it.  Do research before you attempt this."
    A brochure, including part numbers, is available for $2.
    Somehow, I suspect that there may be a lot of pissed off owners in
Eastern Europe & South Africa who can't find spare parts in junkyards due to
missing engines.
