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.
