help on coupe turbo conversion

[Todd Phenneger]

Simon,
  I have NEVER heard of it hitting the headlight support.  But
the problem with the trackrod is common.  YOu have 3 options.
I'll list then in the order that "I" feel is preferable.
1) Call 2-Bennet and buy a brand new pre-Bent Rod for not much
more than a standard new Rod would cost you.  Then buy a new one
for driver side at the same time and be happy with your better
steering control.

2) Pick up a rod at a "yard" from a FWD Audi 4000 4-cyl.  Its
almost perfectly straight.  NOw bend it.  It works but isn't
ideal.

3) Bend the rod you got.  PITA in my opinion because it isn't a
straight Rod.

Good luck
   Todd
