Default Audi 90 quattro and Audi 5000 quattro transmissions

Wondering if the 90 quattro and 5000 quattro transmissions are compatible. If my 90 doesn't sell I found a 88 5000 quattro turbo 10v that runs and drives and plan to swap the turbo engine and trans in to my 90. Just wondering if they are the same as far as CV shafts drive shaft etc.both cars are 5mt

ASSUMPTION - That you own a 1988-1992 generation B-chassis quattro

The '88 5ktq uses the great, strong 016 transmission with 3.89:1 final drive. In short, it doesn't fit in the B3 chassis with out some major work, and it will not work with your existing rear differential (it is 4.11:1).

Put the very good MC-2 engine into your car, again assuming you have a 1988-1992 generation B-chassis car, which comes with a relative of the engine found in the 5ktq. The MC-2 is a vastly superior 10vt engine than any other, and I think Ben Swann is possibly going to do a small run of chips for the MC-2 soon. You wouldn't be disappointed. There are plenty of 10vt swaps that are documented on the internet...

Yes I'm sorry I thought I mentioned that my car is a 88 90q. The shop that's would be doing the swap is who suggested doing the entire drivetrains, but if I can just swap the engine that would be even better. I'll do some more looking.

Like I said, the 016 is in no way a direct fit into your car, wrong final drive ratio, wrong case length (which means you'd need a new prop shaft), wrong CV size, etc etc etc. Just leave the 01A, they're fine with the power levels you are dealing with.

10vt into an '88 90Q is something the factory should have done...Again, lots of people have done it, not hard, just takes some time to do certain things (biggest challenges will be downpipe and intake, but if a shop is helping shouldn't be an issue to fabricate/modify things to fit).

Oh, you'll need to relocate your battery to the trunk to clear out room for the wastegate.

Got it!! Yea I'm not looking for crazy power, the shop said we would just turn the boost up to about 18psi do full exaust,frontmount and the other nesssry things. Said I should be able to get 300 maybe once it's all tuned right.I hope the drivetrain in my car will handle that kind of power. If you have any links to the swaps I would be very appreciative. I'm having a hard time finding anything on Google that's not race car related

Not going to get 300hp with CIS. You'd have to go stand-alone and EFI to do that. CIS is good for around 250hp if you know what you are doing. Maybe a little more if you REALLY know what you are doing.
