Mines a 5k tacho. The earlier GTD's in the UK just had the giant analogue clock, same as the Driver models and other basic ones. I personally hate the clock in place of the tacho...

Turbo: exhaust gasses go into the turbocharger and spin it, witchcraft happens and you go faster.

I don't believe we ever got turbo'd diesel mk1s over here, the only (few) I know about are 1.6 N/A's. We got N/A 16 mk2s over here and a few TD 1.6s (badged as a CL), and the rest of the TD's were all GTD's like mine. Theyre a mix and match between GTI and Driver spec here though.

there were only like 400 or something TD rabbits, and lots of mk1 jettas. the jetta TD wasnt even that stupidly rare..

I haven't seen a TD mk2 jetta over here in about 4 years. Although I've seen a few GTD converted ones for sale recently. People seem to be only just realising how much potential the 1.6 TDs have....

see, we are the exact opposite, we got tons of mk2 jetta TDs over here, and NO GTDs or golfs of any sort with a turbo..

Fitted my boost guage roughly today, I'm not happy with it in the centre as its too low and I can't read the notches between 10-20psi, so I'l move it to the driver's side vent. The car peaks at 10psi, will be seeing 17psi when I finally get hold of an MBC  8-)

Look at the beginning of page 1 of the pictures when I got the car, theres a better pic of it there. I just sold a steering wheel off my donor car I had last year, was the same as this one  ;)

Man that car looks sweet!!! Bummer about the window..........
'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.

Just a small update, I got a cool sticker and red striped the 4 lamp grille as I wanted a change.
