V8 Conversion to a NON "S" Boxster

[Wendo]

Rusty, I would like to know your reasons for Audi.
I have heard some but not much.
I have not bought into the power plant at this time, I would like to know about all the options.
I am not racing, just would like 3 to 350 hp.
And I am sure you must save front engine space.
What is standing out to you with Audi my friend?

well the main reason cost,
1: whole donor car less than a grand,
2: no added cost for adaption, $570 for a v6 turbo flywheel and clutch, all bolts up
3: no chopping of front xmember to fit, no need to alter waterpump etc
4: simple to adapt ECU (although this is the same for an LS )
5: 300hp stock so easier on the trans but enough to make the car a bit quicker

my motor had sustained water into #1 cylinder (rain entering via manifold burn hole) so potential $$ to repair and also fire damage to top of motor so lots of small expensive plastic parts there to replace, sold old motor for $500 so that offsets motor cost,
my donor Audi is the 01 model and seems to be the best of that series of motors for reliability
