The 2000 Audi S4 drivetrain fits with no major interference issues except where the stock intercoolers mount on either side of the engine. In the 914 this is the location where the "shelf" is located. I was wondering if I can cut the sidewall to the inside of the flare where I planned to mount these intercoolers. Would this significantly weaken that area? I actually would like to cut more than hatched area...

"The question is, will this be sufficient? Should I resize them or find another location (I do want my trunk space)? If need be, I will convert from water to air IC to make it more efficient. It's GOOD to have water cooling available (Eric). (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) In that case it may be easier to relocate."
All of the discussions on the board about locating oil coolers and AC condensers in the engine compartment or rear fender wells all conclude with the fact that its difficult to get adequate airflow in these areas. If there is a lot of heat to reject these spaces have real limitations. As a casual observer, I would think you would be better off keeping the water cooled intercoolers and rejecting the heat through your radiator, which I assume will be front mounted. Concentrate on the front radiator mounting and its airflow. After all, that's what Audi did. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) BTW, great project. I enjoy seeing your progress.
