I wanted to use the BTG's on my 88 5KCSTQ, but apparently they don't make a
Turbo Gas insert for the 5K quattro rear suspension. If you find otherwise
please post & let us know, as there's some confusion on this issue.

I ended up with TG's on the front and Boge Hydraulics on the rear (it's a
Wagon BTW). I'm pretty happy with it as a mild upgrade, like you wanted.
