Almost ready to swap out the 1.6 NA for a for a Turbo 1.6 in my 86 Golf.
Turbo engine is from a 85 Jetta with solid lifters and a Garret turbo with about 30,000 miles on it. So far it has a Giles pump, Passenger 3"down pipe,boost gauge,egt gauge(installed sensor before turbo), pop off valve on intake has been shimmed shut and a boost control valve.
PM items, valve adj.,pump timing,timing belt, water pump, belts, clutch & prs plate replace
Items left... block heater and likage kit for shifter and trip to the exhaust shop.
Can anyone think of something elese?

Got them...Plus prs. clean old engine :!:
Everything good on transmission side.... both seals, clutch, pilot shaft seal, throwout bearing, flange bearings ?? Heck of a lot easier to change things now than later !!
Motor mounts in good shape ??
CV joints OK ??
Good time to replace all the shifter bushings. It's a PITA to do with the engine in.
Allso have new motor and trans mounts. And shifter bushing kit coming.
