MC is the 2226cc I5 turbo engine found in the US 86-88 5000T, 5000TQ
89-91 200 and 89-90 200Q models.  The reason why it's a popular conversion
into 4KQs (and urQs) is because they are plentiful, and is the latest
I5 10-valve turbo engine Audi used in any US model.  It is a easier
conversion than using a 20-valve motor.
