Audi 90 Quattro

The factory wastegates seem to be pretty robust units. Wouldn't mess around with a stock turbo or intercooler for sure, though.

Most people don't use the 5000/200 intercooler on the B2/B3 cars. It won't fit anywhere near its intended location (unless you put it in front of the grill and on top of the bumper )

....and the plastic end tanks tend to blow off above 15psi unless you strap them.

Honestly, if i got a 90, it's unlikely i'd bother with a swap of any kind unless there's a stronger trans or something i could swap in pretty easily.

I'd just throw some forged sticks and slugs at it and put together my own turbo kit. Sounds cheaper and easier than doing a swap, after which i'd re-do half of it anyways.

Plus i find i'm REALLY not "into" motor swaps these days.

Love that 4 door fast back body style those things had.

Oh you didn't know that you could have MX6 turbo goodness in a spacious and baby-friendly form?

PS: This particular one had a built FE3 and a GT3071.

^build info/ link?

In reply to Swank Force One:

I want it. Sounds way moar funner than my current dd.

I dont have a build thread I dont think. Car sold about 2 years ago. I'll dig up more info.

oooooh, indeed!

Any ideas on the driver's door lock thing?

Can that bumper be found for non-rapage prices?

How much time does a trans R&R take?

on the driver's door lock - doors are incredibly hard to work on in the closed position. just something to think about.

Yep, for sure. I'm wondering if he's full of E36 M3 saying he got a quote for $90. I'd pay $90 for someone else to handle it.

Probably a a bad power lock motor or door handle. I suspect it might be a common part shared with other Audi's or VW's. http://www.motorgeek.com/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=54752

Front bumper could more than likely be repaired, since I suspect it is fiberglass. A search on ebay.co.uk might yield some results. Note: Found one here for $250: http://eurowerks.org/showthread.php?t=21299

R&R of the transaxle doesn't seem too bad since the forward axles bolt to flanges and the rear driveshaft slides out after pulling the coupling bolts. Making it very similar to a standard RWD transmission. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=duhhuzXjl-A

to increase the value of the car say 500-1000 dollars? absolutely yes.

Who's gonna pay much for ANY car you cant get into from the driver side? I could see if the passenger door was busted...

Hrmmm... now i'm not sure if the 3B in Atlanta comes with the trans or not. Wording is pretty terrible.

Yeah, hard to tell without reaching out. It should also be stated that rebuilding one of those transaxles isn't too bad from what I've read.
