compound is normal of diesel. a thing the dodge ram guys have for a bit.

Now we're talking! Im seriously considering putting the 2.5 5cyl tdi in place of my current 4cyl 1.9 tdi. Just a shame its FWD! getting 300lbft+ onto the road through the front wheels alone might be tricky!

Anyone any idea if my existing gearbox would fit the 5cyl? and would it cope? lol

The 2.5 TDi is a great motor and I've discussed doing this a few times with an equally Audi possessed friend. I'd always thought that one would have to use a five cylinder gearbox as four and five pot engines have different bolt pattens on the bell-housing apparently however both four and five pot bolt pattens are there on later gear-boxes. There's a recent thread somewhere on here but I can't seem to find it now, please note I'm not 100% certain this is correct by any means.

I've always come the conclusion that a V6 Avant would make a fantastic base car for such a project as their relativity cheap as often very high spec with leather ect. I believe I'm right in say the V6 and I5 share the same bell-housing bolt patten. Would also be pretty cool to see a heavily tuned one in a Coupe quattro

The only downside to all this is the price of 2.5 TDi Diesel motors, plus they don't come up very often. You'd probably be best of buying a tatty early A6/200 to rob the engine from.

hi Aaron here.... 45 psi lifts heads for me

my screenname there on VWSport is baddrabbit. and VWSport is really not very traveled much, just the unlocked, the garage, the classifieds, and then rumor has it a hidden forum.

you want to see some real crazy stuffff..... look to some Brazilian things. they have a a car down there, 2.1L 8v makes 1078 WHP!!!! they run upwards of 40% nitromethane, and 60psi boost!!! and 8 second 1/4 mile drag cars, even 8v motors!!! there are some real crazy setups out there

they sometimes use Audi 01A FWD Dog-Box setups... but 8 seconds in an FWD VW is crazy nuts. there has been alot of input lately from these guys, and i made a thread (corradogirlie is also me on VWKotex, i got banned so i use my wifes acct LOL) in the drag forum to try and compile the info in one place.
