Audi started putting the fuse box under the hood in '84.  

I will be doing the swap when the 3B 20V turbo goes in.  I have the complete
wiring harness from an '86 Coupe GT with some additions from a 4kq and the
'91 200 engine harness.  The fuse box itself will actually be from a '91
200q, not much difference there, but some.  Also included in the swap will be
the infamous digital dash (flame away quattro fans) to keep with my goal of a
'91 quattro clone.  I personally like the things.  Seriously.  Ever look at
the instruments in an F1 car?

But I digress, the underhood fuse box swap is possible, but I wouldn't
recommend it unless the wiring in your ur q was burned or severely butchered.
 I would estimate about 20 hours labor and $200 in parts from a reasonable
salvage yard to do the swap as well as all the manuals. 

HTH!
