Exactly, the one I'm looking for has the same engine as the latter S2, with an extra 10hp. And mine has 4 doors instead of 2. |

You could also harvest the motor from a later S4 / RS4 since when the S4 first came out in the oldest body style, they still used the mighty 5 cylinder lump

Oh, and be sure to put an atmosperic bypass on the intake so that it can breathe normally until boost starts to build. Otherwise, it's a very laggy motor. |

hehehe I know, I know.
I'm just missing turning wrenches on my own cars. It's been two and a half years since I sold mine before moving over here from Montreal and I'm starting to have the itch to get a toy car again. The bonus is that over here there's more cool old to choose from :) |
