Btw, the main drawback of the 40v was the chain tensioner system for the timing chain. As with our ims, they are the achilles heel of the motor. They are an expensive fix though, even with the motor already out of the car.

This is a belt driven 40v.
My plan, thus far is this:
TI dave cradle
phaeton V8
2001 A6 ECU with Immo off and s6 tune
Stock motronic for dash only
986 5 speed with drilled vss hole and 2mm spacer
No AC and electric powersteering.
Since I have a 99, I'm wondering what to do about my return style fuel system? I guess I could just run the feed line and cap the return near the tank?
Also, the 40v come with this goofy built in oil/coolant heat exchanger/oil filter thing. I'd like to delete that mess and just run an external oil cooler and filter. Anybody tackle that? Doesn't seem to be an off the shelf solution for the later v8s.
Thanks all. I'm getting more amped about this project.
