<< Hi Chris, I have an 87 Quattro 5000 non turbo, (bigger valves).  I prefer
the
 non turbo over the turbo. Audi 4000 quattro's are the same, non turbo, so are
 Audi 90 and 80's.  Quattro doesn't mean turbo. Also the VW Quantum syncro is
a
 Quattro 4000 or non turbo 5000's. The non turbo 5000 Quattro's have the big
 headlights like 89 - 91 100's, front wheel drive. The turbo 5000's and the
 turbo Quattro 5000's have the sleek longer rectangular headlights like on the
 89 -91 200's. There are Audi 200 20 valve turbo's too with 215 HP.  Also a
 limited addition 1993 100 20 V turbo sport with around 250 HP's.  Hope this
 clears things up a little.
  See ya, Michael >>

whoops, sorry..  youre right, there were a few non-turbo 5000 quattros made,
but more turbo quattros than non turbo quattros...and actually the headlights
you're talking about are '86-91...(looking for a set for my '84 turbo w/ the
dorky US spec quad square sealed beams... :<(
