1981 diesel Jetta

The lowdown......

I bought this car almost two years ago now and drove it for a solid four months when I bought it. Then I got the idea in my head that a turbo would be a killer addition to this car, which of course it would be. It now has a turbo, and is a killer addition to this car. I hate driving it in the city, as it really is better suited to highways. She'll do 20lbs of boost with a little bit o' right foot and with some skillful driving, keep 15 up hills without pushing the egts past 1100.

The good:

ARP Headbolts
1.9 3 notch metal headgasket
Wastegate line blocked off
2.5 inch downpipe
Mk2 cluster swap with tachometer and LED lighting
Pro Comp Boost and Pyrometer Gauges
Mk2 steering wheel
Relayed Headlights
Great snow tires with one season on em

The bad:

Passenger side front fenders got a bit of a large rust hole...
Bits of rust scattered about, cosmetic mostly
The usual Mk1 noises.

*car interior is far cleaner than in the pictures.
