Can the engine from my 86 4kcsq handle forced induction?
A 10v I believe? What modifcations should I make? or should I get a beefier engine?
And no, Im not thinking about a turbo....

Probably, but...
But you'd more than likely be better off with a turbo motor if going to go forced induction.
Why? Same reason as for a turbo: Slightly lower compression, Oil squirters for the backs of the pistons, sodium exhaust valves and knock sensing (depending on the donor). Turbo motors generally come with oil coolers, and a half assed intercooler too, which could proove to be useful for a supercharged motor.
A used MC motor, ECU and wiring harness isn't all that expensive. Especially compared to any 'non turbo' forced induction setup..!

Thats what I was thinking..
Probably the safer route anyway.
Thanks.
Any suggestions where I might find something like that? None of the salvage yards in my area have anything audi older than 1998
