I got the right setup now I just have an issue with the wastegate on the K03. It was frozen and in the process of freeing it up the shaft that goes thru the body of the turbo to open the wastegate snapped. Does anyone have a wastegate shaft off an old turbo that they would be willing to sell?
Yes, I do agree that the Vanagon is heavier, and less aerodynamic than the originally intended Rabbit. But it takes a fundamentally different mindset to operate a diesel Vanagon I have come to realize, one that after years of motorcycles and speeding tickets I have embraced. It helps not to imagine yourself at the front of any pack, but take comfort in the functionality of my living room on wheels.
