Sorry, but both of you are wrong here.

- Quattros do not have bigger valves than the FWD cars.  A 1988 5000 Turbo
Quattro has the EXACT same engine as a 1988 5000 Turbo FWD.
- The majority of quattros out there are not Turbo.  I have owned an 88
Audi 90 Sport Quattro and an 86 Audi 4000 Quattro - none had turbo.  My
current Audi is an 87 Audi 5000S Quattro with a smooth as silk 2.3L 130hp 5
banger.
