        Can you ship to Norway?
        If at first you don't succeed, destroy all evidence that you tried.

          Yes of course! It's about £25 last time I sent some stuff over.

          Are you on Audi club Norway? Maybe you could put it up there please?

              Some questions on the norwegian forum I couldn't answer right away:

              - Is it the starter motor that has double the speed, or the actual engine crank?

              - Does it have a solenoid like the OEM one, or is the starter gear engaged at all times?

                  This should help.

                  I cant say for sure if it will be exactly twice as fast at the motor under cranking but they said its alot quicker. I'll call them and see if they fancy putting a number to it.

                  I found this on Youtube



                  And the solenoid is the little unit on the back in the Gif image

                  Thanks James

                  AGX unit. it will come with there heat dampening and all units are fully serviceable.

                  Geared starting so the cranking will be twice as quick as the standard item and alot less current draw

                          are these purely for race cars or for occasional track type motors??...I am going to look at the youtube footage when I get home.....

                            I'd say the money would be better spent on something else with a road car Mike. But track or race application would be a benifit

                              Right got a reply from them

                              They will not put a cranking speed to the motor because there are so many options to account for such as

                              Compression
                              Crank weight
                              Ring gap
                              Oil pump and auxiliary drives

                              But they are happy to say it will be a lot faster.

                              If we get 10 buyers we get 10%

                              If we get 20 takers we get 17.5%
