• The oil pan on my rebuilt Quantum engine has me worried. It was very rusty, with some pin holes and a lot of external pitting. I welded the holes up,wire wheel brushed it and powder coated it black. Now rust has blistered through the coating, and it's still on the stand, not yet in the car
  
  My question is, will any gasser 1.6 pan fit this engine? I'm not worried about the drain fitting, as I'll need to change something anyway to match the VNT drain hose. I can weld on an appropriate fitting.
  
  The windage tray/gasket is the same, so are the pans interchangeable?

• a gasser oil pan will fit but you will loose one quart of oil capacity! so instead of 5quarts a gasser holds 4quarts! you should stay with a 5quart if you can? but to get you out of a bind you can use the gasser 4quart pan!

• I bought a *Brand New* Oil pan from the VW dealership about 2 months ago
  (for 1.6 TD)
  Nobody had them anywhere,
  I did not want to weld a bung on because of the issues you are already having,
  
  It was like $150-175
  From my Local VW Dealership in Orlando, FL.
  It took 1.5 wks to get (Brought in from Canuck warehouse, of course!)
  
  but I was shocked at the reasonable price!

• Is the Quantum engine going in a Quantum?

  At first glance - Great !!  HD pan for only $60 !!  Got me to rethink my NA pan and my oil return line going over the bell housing to return to the vac pump port...  Then I see they have a $25 HD pan w/o the turbo bungs and I think - For $35 I can do that very easy. Then I think, man, I could for $1 weld a bungs onto my NA pan as it is clean... Then I am back to - PUT THE engine in the caravan NOW and worry about doing a full turbo build later !!  :-)
  
  Half way down the post is my return line.
