[Vwdiesel] Turbo Questions

[mark shepherd]

If the label reads ...AX then it's Garret, mX is KKK. I think in '82 only 
KKK available.

How do you know it needs a rebuild? Oil on turbo usually comes from valve 
cover problems. Small amout of oil, almost expected. The exhaust flange is 
just a square of metal with a hole. Easy to drill out and file if you needed 
one. Gasket can be made from a few sheets of baked bean tin....
