'82 Rabbit, I put on a euro vnt-15, 2.25" DP, 2.5" exhaust, the result.....it whistled.

I removed the turbo, made a toilet bowl 2.5" DP, the result....it was deafening. Now it has a homemade muffler up front and a thrush in the rear, the result.....less loud.

Are these kits any good ? How well do they hold up? It looks well made. Has anyone ran this kit on their 1.6 ?
thanks,Mike

the turbo is not very efficient, and is not sized well for out little engines, it has no wastegate, and boosts late in the RPM range.

that said, if it had the proper intake manifold with it, I would be all over it(if I was still driving a VW that is)

That is my old BAE turbo kit that I installed on a '80 pickup. It was new in the box, never installed.
There is alot of other parts that Mark is not showing with it.
