RE: V8 Turbo

[Eaton Dave <dave.eaton@minedu.govt.nz>]

nothelle are a german company, notable for a 2.5l (stroked long block)
ur-quattro and s2 conversion.  aimed at 300hp with much improved low-down
grunt.  there was a full review of a ur-q with this motor in an old vw/audi
car magazine a year or 2 back.

someone on the list will have more information.

		The company was Nothelle, and they're in England, if I
recall.  They 
		were doing conversions for the 4.2 liter in the S8 and A8.
I'm sure they 
		could work that magic on a V8 4.2, but I imagine getting it
done on a 3.6 
		would be a custom job (although, I bet it's similar enough
they would do it).
		However, as has been mentioned, this is (no doubt) an
extremely 
		expensive process.  

		I recall from their ads that they were talking about the
specs on manual 
		transmission 4.2 liter engines- does Audi make the S8 in a
manual, or 
		did they convert the transmissions as well?  If so, that in
itself would be
		exciting.
