First time poster, but big reader of the forum. Converted to Audi Quattro some time ago and there's no going back now!
Anyway, my question is whether it is possible and/or practical to transplant the 2.7 bi-turbo engine from a B5 (RS4 or S4) into a B6 (2002 Quattro A4)? If so, can I keep the dash and engine software of the newer car? Will the transmission handle the power? I'd be looking to upgrade the package to push out 400-450bhp, but keep it reliable (with plenty of care).
I already have the 2002 car, but would need to source the 2.7 engine etc.
Don't bother telling me it'll cost unless you have a really good idea of price/s.
Thanks in advance.
