[Vwdiesel] Putting turbo on a na 1.6?

[lbaird119 at aol.com]

  Pretty much what James said.  
  I have a Dasher turbo and it was just "bolted on" when I got it, so no extra fuel.  It was nice 
but not terribly impressive and unless you turn up your fuel don't worry about spending the 
money on an EGT or oil temp gauges.  Mine wouldn't hit 600F on a hill, full load on a hot day!
Turbo makes it run cooler not hotter.  It's the more fuel you then add that makes it hot again 
or hotter.  THAT'S when you need the EGT and even then, if you don't go to the max, you'll 
stand a 95% chance of being just fine.  Oil temp gauge is nice but nearly useless.  No oil 
cooler on the Dasher and the oil temp only went up on hills on warm + days AFTER I added 
cooling jets.  With my makeshift cooling jets and a turbo, the oil pump is insufficient and you 
need the 36mm gear pump.  It has a NA pump on it that's turned up to an absolute max of 
1300F pre turbine (takes quite a load and hill to hit it).  You have to regulate smoke with 
how much throttle you use according to how much load, boost, etc.  It gets pretty second 
nature pretty fast.  A boost pressure gauge is nice but really not all the usefull other than 
setting the system up, if it's an aftermarket or scratchbuilt setup.
  Am in the process of putting a turbo on my 1.5 Rabbit.  

  Bolt it on, turn up the fuel a little and you will be fairly happy.  Put a 2.5" exhaust and turn 
the fuel up a little more and it'll be fun.  That's when it's time to get the pyrometer.
