They are available in Europe. One of the guys on the 924 owners group in Facebook posted a link to a place that had them. |

Nice! Is there a thread in the swap forum? Is this from an Audi 4000?
No thread. I'm too lazy. It's from an Audi 90 |

It's not super far from my house. I'd like to come see the car if I could. |

It has been mentioned on this forum by more than one person that 944 brakes work fine without rerouting the brake lines. I haven't done it myself yet but it has been done by others |

I'm going to steal this thread for a bit. I need a brake booster will a 944 one fit my 924. Good 944 ones are easy to find. |

The stock compression at it's highest in a 924 is 9.3:1. I'd say that's pretty boostable. The 1.8t VW/AUDI has 9.2:1 and people run 16 PSI boost in those engines. |

There's no build thread, mostly because I'm lazy. It's too much work to do long post on this board when my only internet connection is through my phone. It's a weird build. Instead of CIS i used a ... |
