Possible swap?
Hello listers,
I haven't written in to ask everyone any real Audi questions yet,
usually it's some other tangent subject, so here goes. My car is a
standard '88 90Q 10v. I love it as it stands, but as it gets older,
I've been considering modifications. I've located an I5 turbo from an
'86 5k that I can reasonably get- the rest of the car comes with it and
a lot of nice parts for others interested. How does it sound about
obtaining the I5t, rebuilding it, with some other possible go fast mods,
and plopping it in my little 90Q. Tell me if I'm crazy, undertaking too
large of a task, and I may be inspired, or if it's not that difficult to
complete. I've done mods and swaps on other unmentionable makes, just
none on Audis, so I'll need some of your expertise.
I just purchased a new Bentley manual that covers my model for
$69.97us, so I can study. I included the price because I think it's
good. I wrote to Dan about my mechanic, hopefully to be included with
the others, who recently opened a imported parts store where I got the
manual.
I had not planned any speed modifications, as I wanted to do the
suspension and brakes first, but possible opportunity knocks. Thanks
for any of your input and comments.
