That picture is a manual transmission.

No you shouldn't get that.

You should read the FAQ instead.

I think it means 9 kpa not psi... I thought of that too. I emailed them to make sure it wasn't psi. I should get an email tomorrow. I looked at other motors on their site and all of them have low compression like 9, 8, ect.

If the compression is 9 out of 10, I'd get it and later rebuild it...
and I guess it's not too bad for an S4 T2. Do you know the mileage?

you might wanna consider rebuilding the engine when u get it, theres slim chance that u get a good running engine.

The site says all their motors are 30,000-40k miles but I doubt it myself.... But thats what the site says. As for Rebuilding it.. I have thought of that.. If i get it, do I have the money for a rebuild if needed.. answer: no but in like 6 months i will have money for a rebuild if it needs one.

My Cars already manual transmission so I think it will just mount up anyway... But do I need to change the driveshaft and rear diff if i do this swap anyway?
