If you can squeeze a 4.2 cam belt motor into a B5 why on earth did Audi insist on the rotten cam chain setup that the B6 S4 has ?

Great work by the way 8)

MT75 is a pain to fit, you will need an adaptor plate and a one off flywheel. Keep an eye out for a Borg Warner or Tremec T5 Cosworth ones seem to go for silly money now though :!: You will need to know the year of your engine to find out what flywheel imbalance is needed - older ones are 28oz and n...

Looks complicated :shock:

My daily driver is a B6 S4 and changing the exhausts and de-catting the downpipes was enough for me - not much fun to work on :eek
