Are we speaking of a Euro 200T or a US 5000 Turbo? My '87 5KT, I thought,
had it, after hearing about the dual filters on some Quattros. But the
original maintenance booklet denies its presence on any model 5000. Two
independent mechanics here in Arizona agreed. 

So, quite frankly, I'm not sure why. Anyone else have evidence to the
contrary?
