I have also read about the audi 5000 turbos using the same tranny but with better internals.  My question is what transaxle would I be needing for a 1200lb 260hp buggy?  Would a stock vanagon be good? A stock audi 5000 turbo? I imagine if it can pull around a heavy bus it should pull a light buggy around no problem.  Thanks for any help  Mitch Powered by phpBB © 2001, 2005 phpBB Group
