I purchased a very nice MK1 Rabbit NA 1.6 diesel that I'd like to make into an Eco Turbo.
Looking for less of a headache by buying an entire kit. Header, intake, intercooler, turbo, downpipe, piping, etc.
Not looking for power really, just love the diesel sound and need a turbo whistle to complement it. Car is purely a toy and driving short distances from home literally as gentle as you could imagine just putting around on side roads going slow.
Located in Waterford Michigan 48328 for shipping.
I have some of the parts you will need. pm'd
is it me or you shouldnt swap 1.6 turbo into a stock 1.6 block/motor. ??

From what i recall, the only major difference is the 1.6td has oil squirters for cooling the pistons.
Lots of folks have done it safely. The TD blocks have different pistons, oil squirters and a different head however the NA is pretty stout in its own right. Keep EGTs below 1200F and it'll last forever.
