Haha Wendo, Im just making it up as I go along LOL
back to the audi v8, the pre 04 are still timing belt driven and have much less issues,
also less horse power,
common issues are
oil/water cooler leaks ($100 part new)
pipe connecting water to oil cooler body is plastic and breaks, ($20 replacement alloy unit avail)
my motor has both issues hence it was cheap
reason for 01 choice,
actually it was chance, it came up cheap and seller just could not find a buyer so I offer a low price,
I found out later 01 motor has ME7.1 ECU which has immob that is easy defeated by a drive box through obd port,
also has 8 bolt flywheel which means a cheaper valeo kit can be used which is from a 30v v6 audi, this allows it all to bolt to the boxster trans,
this is the kit I have purchased,
earlier motors require custom flywheel or an s6 s8 flywheel which is much more expensive,
Cheers Russ...
