Yeah, I really want to do rear steering, but there's no way to do it without running a crazy small tire, or hacking up the frame.

Tempting....

Oh, and I was fiddling with the wastegate on the k14 today, and I found that with the wastegate completely disconnected, the boost peaks at about 18psi. is this normal?

Does anyone know where I could find a heavier flywheel?

a stock 1.9 diesel would be heavier as it is bigger...210mm

a 1.8 gasser maybe the same or similar weight. All you need to do is swap all the parts over. 18psi not intercooled is a bit much for that turbo I think.

ABAs got heavy flywheels, along with AAZs

1.8 flywheels are lighter than diesel flywheels..

gasser flywheels are lightest, then comes stock diesel wheels, then the heaviest ones are off the 1.9 and 2.0..
92 Jetta GLI - Black, 1.6D w/ GT2056V turbo..
86 GTI - 4 Door, Med Twilight Gray, Tow Machine..
86 Audi Coupe GT - Tornado Red, All Stock.. WRECKED.
89 Toyota 4Runner - Dark Grey Metallic, LIFTED!

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