The transmission bolt pattern of the Audi I5 and the EV I5 are the same. They may indeed sit at different angles so this is why the oil pump pickup and oil pans are different. Good luck on installing it and let me know what you use for an transmission adapter and flywheel! Why supercharge the I5? Get a "MC" engine from a 1986 to 1990 Audi 5000/200 Turbo. 168hp from the factory and with a little help 230hp isn't hard.
