RE: Bosch, NOT!



Mike, your (and my) car have the 20v atmo 164hp engine, Lyndon has the
20v 227hp (prolly) turbo engine. His engine is most similar to those in
the '91 200Q/S2/S4/S6 in our neck-o-the-woods. I think his model was
available in Yurrup, three got to New Zealand, and none got to our side
of the Pond. What a surprise. If you should be *adventurous* enough to
upgrade to the 20v turbo motor, probably the easiest way to do so would
be to take your car and $10K to Ned Ritchie, who'd swap a nice 270hp
upgraded 20v turbo motor in for you. I hear he's done so to a Coupe
quattro like mine (Oo, la, la!)
