[Vwdiesel] 1990 Turbo diesel Fox 2 dr Wagon

[adamo robison]

I have a fox wagon too ive been dreaming of making diesel..i have access
 to a 1.6 na but feel it d be worth holding out for the turbo.....is 
there a good source of info or forum where yall have been 
researching.....especially about transmission options and a good source 
to find them.......or maybe just go with what i have....a four speed manual and the 1.6 na....would that be too high a gearing for the low rpm diesel
thanks again this is a good thread so far
