Re: turbo?

Really?  Please tell us how you did this, as I'd wager a bunch of us Audi
Coupe and 4000 owners would like to do this.  The main thing that really
turned me off to putting in a 5000's turbo engine was the wiring harness
and ECU.  I also thought the exhaust manifold had some issues.  I don't
feel bad to be proven wrong if we all benefit.  By the way, we are
talking about U.S. spec. cars, here.
