What does the turbo plaque say? Looks like a t3 or k24.

Yea never seen that style of wastegate on a 1.6. Pherhaps it's a k14 some versions had that wastegate.

all i can guess.. its a prtoto td from 81ish.. too much cast iron parts to not be designed that way.. and have toilet bowel part.. but they changed the exhaust manifold design.. and we got the mk1-aaz top mount stuff...

Odd, from my perspective, it looks oil cooled, and very similar in ways to my K14. I wouldn't say it was one, but I 'm no expert on any model besides mine

only an oil line, so it has to be oil cooled.

Wierd, I coulda swore theman posted "air" in his mesage and now it says "oil" thus making my subsequent post sound redundant.
A mod can't change a post that's been quoted can he?
Maybe I misread it the first time.
