Loren,
 
Is there a place to get 3 inch exhaust that I could order online. I have very limited options for exhaust where I live (Sheridan WY). I would like a mandrel bent exhaust for max flow. What what is the silencer and where would I pick one up at. 
 
Also there is some shaft play in the turbo. More then I would feel comfortable with so that is why I at least want that done. Also where would I get the correct head gasket, is is a different one then engines in the USA, same for head bolts and oil pan (looks like it has hit a few too many things). 
 
And my last question of the day is I finally get the twisted off glow plug out of the head (drilling and easy-out) and the threads are bad. They still will hold some but I don't know how much I can trust it. Looks like it was over tightened and that is why the plug twisted off. Can I rethread it with a heleacoil if have a problem?

The location, Redwood City, is in the SF Bay area, about 3 hours from where I live. If someone could source that Lamborghini engine (that firm primarily makes tractors, not expensive sports cars) or some other light weight air-cooled fuel efficient diesel that would fit in the VW Beetle's engine compartment & easily mate up to the existing transaxle & then market the setup as a kit at an affordable price, that person might be able to make a small fortune. Perhaps there is a suitable engine in China that could be modified to fit in the rear of a Beetle & then sold in this country. Maybe I am just dreaming.> > _______________________________________________> > Vwdiesel mailing list> > Vwdiesel at vwfans.com> > http://www.audifans.com/mailman/listinfo/vwdiesel> > ------------------------------------------------------------------------> >> >> > No virus found in this incoming message.> > Checked by AVG. > > Version: 8.0.100 / Virus Database: 270.0.0/1485 - Release Date: 6/5/2008 10:07 AM> > > > > _______________________________________________> Vwdiesel mailing list> Vwdiesel at vwfans.com> http://www.audifans.com/mailman/listinfo/vwdiesel> > > > > ------------------------------> > Message: 3> Date: Fri, 6 Jun 2008 11:51:54 EDT> From: LBaird119 at aol.com> Subject: Re: [Vwdiesel] 1.9 td aaz - Bryan Belman (Travis G)> To: vwdiesel at vwfans.com> Message-ID: <bdd.2c0c425b.357ab71a at aol.com>> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII"> > In a message dated 6/6/2008 4:50:29 AM Pacific Daylight Time, > tgott at hotmail.com writes:> > > I am still going to get the injectors, waste gate, injector pump and turbo > > looked at and rebuilt as I don't know if they would have been looked at much > > with a timing belt problem.
