[Vwdiesel] Putting turbo on a na 1.6?

[ralph meyermann]

I usually gasket match porting and take care of casting seams and polish up
a bit, ive got a couple race engine builders/machine shops that I trust, so
clean you can eat off the floor! The guys at A.C.E. can help me set up the
head and have a good diesel Dr. for pump and injectors then I can
reassemble myself. Its not hard to do other than making sure all is
properly lubed and fuel system is cean clean!! This is my first Volkswagen
and my first diesel but I spent 10 yrs playing with a dirt latemodel.
