if i had the coin id add it to the toaster... it needs big turbo
yes that will work on a gasser.. most we see are on gassers.. the throttle body adapter is the main differance.. gas = throttle body, then the turbo feed (air filter for us) would go to the cis flap.. which i think is the callaway casted pipe..
intercooler was a stage 2 type of thing..
his pic of it on head is stage 1.. mk1 rabbit/jetta/cabby/caddy.. so stage 1 wise i think he has all the pieces for a mk1... gas or diesel..
p.s. callaway got its start making diesel kits.. then moved into gassers.. then vetts..
add some intercooler piping and stage 2..
I want to buy a MegaSqirt for the Miata so I'm trying to make this more tempting.
How? By dropping the price? A bunch?
Read the update I put in capital letters.
Still a long way from "EXTRA TEMPTING". What are "GTD" injectors, BTW?

How can you asses the temptingness when you admit you don't even know what is being sold?
Lets see,
better than stock intake
better than stock exhaust
better than stock rebuilt turbo
with plumbing
Less than $500
Do you prefer rusty hoods and stretched tires to running well or something?
GTD = GTI, but diesel.
I'm blown away no one has snapped this up.... this would be so sweet on my cousins restored caddy!!...(just wish it were mine)
i agree... such a "complete" kit.. die hard diesel person needs to own..
no wastegate?
how impossible will that be to find?
like my old BAE kit that also lacked wastegate.. diesels did not have enough rpm to make enough boost for one.. think of how big this turbine is.. think of diesel rpm.. the BAE one only makes around 7psi.. BUT pushes you in the seat unlike a stock td does due to its size.. its old antique turbo stuff here..
why waste gate required anyways.. add in one of them silly sneeze valves and that will drop boost pressure.. lots of people build them..
if waste gate needed.. ok.. add the thing into the manifold in some way.. audi 5k turbo has a remote one that bolted to the manifold.. lots of them in junkyards..
id still add this to my tdi-m in the toaster.. may have some lag.. but i bet would rip the tires free in upper rpm range no issue.. just i has no money..
A guy from Oregon bought the kit. He's putting it on a 1.9 NA. With the extra 300cc of size it should be a good fit. Let's hope he decides to join the forum.
Thanks to everyone for their input and help.
