<< ok, so my 86 type 44q with KG engine has WC turbo with the after run water
pump 
 and dual filters (true about being messy to change the 2nd filter) and
regular  
 changes of mobil1 and bosch (anti-drainback valve) filters and i let it cool
   
 before shutoff.  if i upgrade my oil cooler i think i'll have the most
         
 protective combination available.  then i could add an accusump pre-oiler
and a 
 turbo timer...

....  Frank, the 44q designation is correct the KG engine isn't, here
anyway....   For USof A, 86 44q (5000tq) had the following engine types:

86 - MC - 2226 turbo - 1-85 thru 7-85 -dual filters Water cooled turbo
86/87 - MC - 2226 turbo - 8-85 thru 9-86 - some early duals, very rare, water
cooled turbo
87 thru 89.5  MC - 2226 turbo -  10-86 thru F44K-038-261 single knock, water
cooled turbo

So, my proposal would be that depending on where audi "claimed" the year
change, you might get an 86 with dual filters....  Prolly a 8 or 9 1985 build
date as an 86 car (leftover parts syndrome)....  Or, you might have a grey
market machine, then anything goes.....  The easiest way to tell, according
to my records, is that the 1985 series used the bosch 71031 fuel filter, the
1986 used the more common 71044 bosch can...   Maybe you can help yourself on
that one......
