[Vwdiesel] Using Ether in Volkswagens..............

[Terry Briggs]

Ok, now I'm hearing 2 dif things, one group says under no circumstances 
add a turbo to a non turbo engine, another says you can, whats the 
"real" deal. Can you add one to an NA block, if you can, what should 
you do to keep egt in check, I have the entire setup from a TD sitting 
on the shelf, but haven't done anything with it because of what I've 
heard.
