Well, according to the fiche (thanks Brandon, Jeff & Ben) it uses the same
engine block, pistons, head and cams as the RS2. You are only an exhaust
manifold, turbo, injectors and chip away from RS2 power.  Interesting
tidbit, the ecu has several wires dedicated to cars with auto transmissions
- though I can find no evidence any auto box models of the S4/S6 were ever
imported to the US, or even made for that matter.  But; the wiring is part
of the harness.  You may actually be able to adapt the auto from a V8.....
how much money did you have budgeted? :-)
