Got a bunch of stuff this week to add a turbo to my N/A 1.6 (Thanks ilikevwdiesel!!!) any suggestions on what needs to be cleaned or rebuilt before installation.
1) I know almost nothing about turbos
It turns when I put my fingers down on the blades but other than that I'm clueless. I hear people talking about "play" and oil leaking into turbo, but I have no clue how to check.
2) The intake and exhaust manifolds are in normal shape(typical surface rust) does it help to clean them up or is it only for looks. Should I clean out the exhaust manifold ports with a dremel, or is it alot of work for an inexperienced guy with small results to be gained?
3) Do I need to buy new gaskets for all parts( valve cover is obvious, but what about others?)
