Hi,
is the car still living?
I would still really love to see some progress on this built. I have stoped working on my golf for nearly 1,5 year and started it today for the first time since. Pherhaps this is a little motivation for you
Best Regards

Hello all!
I have been having problems for the last two years; health and finances are giving me a hard time and I'm unfortunately at the point of no return with this project.
It is sad and I know many of you will be disappointed - but I am simply unable to continue working on the Jetta and thus the project will have to be sold.
I still have 95% of all the stuff you have seen on this topic - so in case you are interested in some of them, please send me PM and we can hopefully find a new home
for the goodies. Don't worry, international shipping is not a problem. If you're looking for some rare Mk2 parts in general, you can ask if have have part X or Y, on this topic.
Things don't always work out how we'd like them
But maybe you can help me so all this stuff won't just be sitting idle for all eternity?
Best regards
Janne
Just plesse throw the AKI-76 head studs in the bin in stead of ripping someone off, as they are not worth a single dime....
Understand your frustration Alcaid...
To all others Turbo J was a very good member and even though the studs could be in question, the rest of his parts are 100% legit. I have bought from him and YRMV but he was straight up and a good seller.
Explanation from my side. I've got nothing against Janne and have bought good parts from him before as well. But he was marketing these studs on this forum and he had a set for this engine. They know in Finland as well that these studs are crap but no one ever told about it and hoped the problem would dissappear. I know of at least 16 engines that has failed with these studs, some even with warped block or heads as a result... Janne has lots of great parts to sell and I am sorry that his situation is what it is, just make sure those studs don't kill another engine.
