In the same way you're almost average height. ie: not really at all.

why not?
I recall Dragon having a set, but have you tried RX Motors, they normally have a few sets, the place is like a rotary warehouse

Nope, will give them a try. Would like to find someone over here, asked some of the Audi Sport guys so they'll have a look if they have a chance.
You ever changed sparks on one of these?

Yes, spark plugs are a pain. Marginally easier to do from below. However, if you want to do them from above, it will help if you remove the inlet elbow.
Regarding turbos, unless you want to start spending money left, right and centre, i'd probably just go with replacement reconditioned ones. I think I was given a quote of £900 or so, for getting my ones reconditioned.

Well it's been a frustrating month really, had the problem with the car on the autobahn, and spent the past weeks nursing it round mostly. Bought new turbos, but the specialist here thought the ones on the car were fine.
The new, as yet unnecessary turbos:
Anyway, yesterday my guy here set to work repairing an oil leak, ended up renewing front and rear oil seals... camera phone pics only:
Gearbox and flywheel off:
Rear of engine, can just see rear rotor and eccentric shaft:
And then he dug this out:
Main rear shaft bearing from the stationary gear, worn right through 
Now has a Cosmo triple rotor race bearing and is much smoother. However, still haven't fixed the lumpy (well, more than normal) idle. Will have to try my guy back in England and get the engine tested, along with the sequential turbo tubing.
Some vids anyway...
Lumpy exhaust
Gentle driving, running in bearing
Gentle overtake
Nothing spectacular I'm afraid as I'm trying to take care of the engine, but at least you get to see some nice scenery

This is where I went to get the car looked at, it's a unit on a farm near Munich...
...with a lovely view of the Alps...
S13 was very nice, a proper Ring slag, as endorsed by a certain S. Scmitz:
