The factory 83mm Mahle I obtain from an excellant source, that is very
little known for Audi tuning, but well known for VW tuning.
Techtonics Tuning in Sheridan OR.  Alot of the parts and tuning tricks 
used on the 4 cylinder VW will also work on Audi's 5 cyl. mill.

My other source is IPC in CA.  If its available, they can get it.
For really difficult to find parts, Oettinger in Germany is very 
helpful.

Last but not least, Al Solari in Ontario is an Audi Whiz!!!
