Hi my name is John & I am an Audi nut.My
Audi is a '83 TQC.Mars red/black leather.80k miles.I've been reviewing the Qlist
for awhile now & find it very interesting.Especially the stuff about the Urq
wiring .I found most of the problems noted & corrected them with good
results.Btw I've done lots of other mods & up grades to my Urq. adjustable
wastegate-14 psi,15X7 MSW type 55 wheels comp ta's 215X60s,Jacobs
ign,Halmeter,K&N,CGT guages in place of the ashtray,H&R progressives,
boge struts,etc., Now for a couple of questions.1st on locking the crank to do
the timing belt.On my Urq & my sons 5ksq there's two holes in the bottom of
the bellhousing right at the engine.At tdc these holes line up with two holes in
the flywheel.I put two 1/2 in uss bolts up through these holes & loosened
& titened the crank bolt easily using a hellofa long bar.Has anyone else
done this &/or was this safe.I've done three belts on these two cars &
seen no problems using this method.Also to get around the over boost fuel cut
off on the Urq I stacked a second wot switch on the original & wired it to
the fuel pump relay.I adjusted the switch lever so it operates from about half
throttle.Works great with 14 psi boost & although I lost the rpm limiter
this ain't no RPM eng. anyway.Goes like hell.Thanks .John Gross ' 97 Dodge

but not least'83 Urq, just hauls.
