Hagar got help --- thanks Loren and ALL.  ---- I am back this minute to give a report
about test drive.

25 Sept 2005  at 12 : 17 PST. -----    was great fun.

Good news for 1984 Rabbit turbo owners :  putting a brake on the compressor wheel
  --piece of Apple Pie.   A piece of weatherhead  3 / 8 inch   airhose 6.5 inch long.
Prop it  between Impellor nut and a threaded  thing protruding inside from Tower.   It is
about 1 inch long perfect for holding hose while you test drive --or ? limp home in case
of turbo failure on  Texas  I - 45.

So what did I learn ?  --- that to take rubber 90 off is easy ---the torque on turbo even
at idle was amazing.
I tried to stop it with my finger ----no way.----AND the rumble turning right is still
there . will find it trust me ---NO CV  will be left unturned.

Hagar.
