I have a 91 Audi 80 FWD 5-sp with this engine currently in it. The last owner obviously didnt take care of it , so I'm not sure if I should try to rebuild the engine thats currently in the car or go for something better. I was looking at the 2.2L Turbo I-5, or the 2.8L (i think its 2.8) V-6. Any suggestions?

ahh the rare 5cyl fwd. if it were me i would rebuild and do a turbo or maybe even a 20v turbo

Can the 20V head bolt on to the 10v block? It should right? Since its basically the same engine. Do they make Aftermarket turbo manifolds for the 5-cyl or am I going to have to get one from a 5000/200 Turbo

for 10v and 20v advice i am not the one to talk to. lol. I would assume they dont being ppl whould do that other then doing the whole motor swap. I'm sure there is a manifold u can use for the 10v and a turbo. i thing others will chime in here soon and maybe more helpful. I would not do the v6 swap. IMP to much of a pain. ever think of a 1.8t? what ever your planing on doing hope u have alot $$ saved up. my project is pushing the 6k mark and i'm keeping the stock 4cyl motor. lol

I thought about it, but theres way too many sensors then I feel like wiring (no to mention cost would be higher). Besides I like having a 5-cyl. Gives me something to be proud of :-)

2.8L V6? Sell and buy a FWD '93-'95 90...not worth the effort!

...now the 5-speed with the 5-cyl is rare (on FWD of course)!
