Audi 5000 bellhousing?

Howdy volks,

The GTI motor didn't pan out. Sad

Just tripped across an '84 Audi 5000 turbo (5 cylinder) with a bad tranny for cheap.
180 HP and Torque sounds rather appealing..

Are the audi's a different bolt pattern than the VW watercooled blocks?
Anybody seen an Audi 5 cyl in a VW Type 2 or Vanagon?

Thanks!

Saw a T25 on ebay a while back so I know its possible, sorry I can't provide any details though.

That reminds me didn't they fit that engine as standard down there? - or is that what the article is about. I've got the mag just not read it yet.

somewhere theres a website of a guy doing a similar conversion......but I cant find it ill post up if I do. But yes it is possible - there was a van at vanfest with this conversion.

From my memory of the mag article - I think it was factory.

I share my barn with an audi WR coupe turbo - which hasnt done much for a while....be interesting to see how you go with this as out in the yard theres also a t25 :-)
