[Vwdiesel] RE: Want to pass on some experience?

[Adrian Snare]

       Herb,      I do not know that much about Turbos, except of course
the common sense things, I know nothing about the Ford, they do make good
trucks, but lousy cars. So who makes the Ford Turbo ? Very hard to believe
that there is even a degree of interchangeability. I also do know that in
the interest of reasonable durability, the receptor engine must be turbo
based.  Let me know if this plot thickens..    Adrian the madman with two
caddys, but no TDs.
