From my own experience, the JS code 2 litre engine is probably one of the sweetest n/a 5 cylinder engines Audi did, difference in performance on the road between it and the 2.2 is very little.

But if you really want to swap, it's straightforward as there's only minor variations in the two wiring looms and less involved than a 2.3 swap.

cheers decided too stick my own 2.o as this 2,2 has been lying idle for past 20 years

You’re not wrong, the JS was (probably the most) balanced 5 pot, with the bore and stroke volumetric capacity almost identical. With manual shims it makes it ideal for sub 2ltr turbocharging in motorsport.

The market for this is probably one or less but it is a peach.

Agree it’s a superb engine I still miss my JS engine in the coupe I had , the 80 (1781-4cyl) is nice and sprightly too though
