So I removed all the turbo stuff from the car last week and installed all the NA parts. Over the weekend I drove near 800 miles for a mk1 show with my rabbit. All in all it drove okay, rather slow.

So since the car felt fine I'll assume it's healthy enough to start looking for another turbo. Anyone object to that?

AS long as it didn't smoke, I'd say yeah you're safe to run it until you get another turbo on it.  Once an NA, always an NA. :)

Do you have an LDA-equipped pump?  If you don't then you could use the time to also source a good one.
