Agree with Coaster about the car generally but the dash looks good and a rare find south of Canada.

Nice, I did some more digging. The top end looks really nice: https://imgur.com/a/T6S5QeN even after 200k miles.The 2 outer caps were stuck and I didn't want to losen them up (probably under tension, dont want to snap things), but the middle 3 looks super nice.Next up compression test

As nice as it appears from a distance, I would pass on it. The mileage is low and the interior is nice but....Those pinch welds are failing and there is a lot of rust on the bottom of the doors, seams, and possibly the fenders. It just looks weak to me and I would think you would spend a lot of time getting the floor and such fixed only to have it be a continual rust bucket. Take your saved dollars elsewhere. I say it is a blacker hole than most old Rabbits out there.

After a long time searching I found a rebuilt turbocharger with nothing but bench miles, basically fresh. part no. 068145704DAfter even more searching, I finally tracked down someone in the UK parting out a few GTDs and got some drain lines shipped over.1. the 1.6 intake elbow does not work...i managed to get it on but its kinked and does not sit well at all. going to try and use an AAZ elbow and AAZ k14 rubber hose.2. the usual 1.6 intake heat shields do not work...had to grind down the lower one to clear a bolt and the top one wouldnt fit at all.2. the turbo inlet is much smaller than the usual k24/T3...i had to build up the difference with duct tape...will need to find an intake pipe and apparently airbox as well is different.4. supply line is different...the k14 sits about 1" or 1.5" lower than k24..i bent to fit but did not like it at all.5. the turbo seems to have a slight rotation over k24/t3...i have TT downpipe so it has some give but just barely.anyone have any spares? i usually try to be thorough..right now i feel like driving a gingerbread house..
