Just got my Audi 5000 CST running.  It has the MC code 5 cly turbo that
several list members have spoke of.


I took it around the block and was rather impressed with how well it moved
the big Audi.  This car probably weighs as much or more than some vanagons.


With the availability of SA 5 cyl conversion parts and ridiculously low
prices of turbo Audi's... well you get the idea.


Anybody considering the Audi conversion may want to get Todd to build you a
beefy transaxle and go with the MC turbo motor.


This mill makes around 170 hp stock, I believe ECU upgrades are available
for up to 225 hp.


Has anybody done a turbo 5 conversion?


I would love to hear some driving impressions.
