I have the TT HID projectors and brackets ready to go in, and figured while I am in there, I might as well replace the leaky washer reservoir. Question is, while doing that, how much extra work would it be to strap on the 92 euro headlight washer motor? Does anyone have a parts source and Part numbers for that assembly?

> I recently performed a turbocharger and 6-speed manual conversion on a MK4 Jetta. Originally the vehicle had come with a tiptronic auto. I noticed that there was a factory installed auxillary vacuume pump mounted on the subframe near the steering rack. A hard plastic line was connected from the pump and "T"ed into the existing vacuume port to the brake booster.
If I was to use a vacuume brake assist booster on a turbocharged vehicle I would definitely consider the use of an additional source vacuume as a necessary part of the turbo install.
