[Vwdiesel] Turbo costs/etc.

[Matt]

Hello all,

There have been several threads on VW Vortex lately about turboing  
Normally Aspirated 1.6 Diesels.  People have been doing it with  
positive results.  Some are just adding 5-7 PSI, while another  
decided to see if he could kill the engine and cranked it up to  
20psi.  There haven't been any failures associated with the turbo yet.

All of this got me thinking, why couldn't I add a turbo to the  
Rabbit?  How much does the associated parts cost?  I'd have to add  
the intake/exhaust manifold, the turbo, some sort of airbox, and  
that'd be about it.  I'm kinda getting giddy with the thought of  
maybe adding a few horsepower, or at least compensating for the high  
altitude here.

Any thoughts?
