I'm a bit confused - did the D3 have a 4.2 5V petrol engine at all?

I never knew that - every day is a school day - especially when you're an idiot like me.

Anyway - I want!

Its only when you think you know everything that you qualify as a true idiot.
I never ceased to be amazed at the fact that the more I learn, i realise how little i really know.
So, Prof, keep on learning

I've often thought about a supercharged D3 as kits are available for other 4.2 40v Audi's. Only about a month ago I was at Two Counties Motor Show and there was an APR supercharged 4.2 S4. While chatting to the owner I said that I've only seen superchargers on the 2.8 30v A4's using a PES kit and he commented that PES are lesser quality to APR kits.
