I've said it before... I liked my '90 coupe quattro so much. I'd still have it if it wasn't so damned slow. That car with a turbo motor would be perfect.

I may be picking up a 5000 Turbo Avant and a 200 Turbo Sedan in West Virginia soon, and the 200 Turbo is wrecked, so I may swap the motor...

I had a 5kcstq and an urS4. I love the big Audi's of that era. A bit of turbo lag, then those things would get up and MOVE.

I need a tow vehicle, and the 5000 Avant has a tow bar already on it. Just need to bag the rear suspension and we're good to go.

So, the K24 I have mounted has a real bad hot side oil leak, so I've pulled it into the garage to swap it out for a K26 for the time being while I rebuild the K24 and get it balanced


This involves removing the intake and CIS air box, so out it comes


Yup, Oily


Lots of it. Smoked me out on the way home from the car show sunday when I came to a stop.


The culprits. Bad seals


The K26 that wil ltake its place for now. I'd rather have the K24, since it has a smaller hot side and spools at lower RPMs, but I gotta get to the exhaust shop.


A little oily from a fauly supply line seal, but once I re-sealed it, it took.

Unfortunately, that only applied to the large chassis (200/5000) cars. Small chassis didn't get removable front clips till the B3 :smith:

So, I reinstalled the K24 a couple days ago, and then it wouldn't accelerate past 3,000 RPMs.

Thinking the turbo rebuild had gone south, I removed it only to find it was in good shape, so I looked into the turbo inlet hose that goes to the CIS head. Yup, the hose was collapsing. Sleeved it for now, but long term I'll need to replace the hose. Accelerates like a bat out of hell now.

I also replaced all the injector lines and replace a few rusted injectors that had fallen on bad times, replaced the injector seals and put new heat shields on them.

Fired up the 3D printer to print a Gauge Panel that will replace the Radio. This is initial, I may re-design it for 3 gauges:





In the end, it will have a boost gauge and a wideband O2 gauge. The radio is replaced by a simple bluetooth reciever and amp that will fit behind the dash.

Re-mounted the intercooler with some metal brackets and rubber bushings, so now it sits a little lower and doesn't vibrate:





And then drove it to the office to give it a good shake down.

It was just a filter I had on the shelf. I normally use Bosch.

And the bubbles are actually from the Kapton tape. I was lazy in applying it

Got my first paying client, wants to get this 4kQ running for the US Cannonball Run, since it ran it in 1985.



And joy of joys, wife's Volvo sprung a hole in the radiator endcap, so off to the junkyard for parts!



Don't worry S60, your parts will live on in another brother. To Valhalla with you.



Radiator Acquired. Also: Jackpot, found a Saab 900 Convertible Turbo that had a intercooler pipe that'll fit my Ur Quattro intercooler for the 20vT 4kQ



More injectors!

Intercooler installed in the 20vT, now need to run the Crankcase breather and the Catch Can



Upgraded the Turbo pressure pipe on the 10vT to the Saab metal hose. Much nicer and stronger than the flimsy rubber one.
