[Vwdiesel] Putting turbo on a na 1.6?

[Andrew .Libby]

He sells low-quality aftermarket made-in-China knock-off parts.  Many of
the items he sells will not work as described and his customer service
after a sale is non-existent.  He has a terrible reputation in the greater
VW community.  On a positive note, there are some parts he sells that ARE
good deals, there's just an even lower occurrence than at Harbor Freight.
 Just use good judgement and know that you are taking a risk.  IMO, you
would be better served by purchasing used OEM parts.

Being that you have a vanagon, I would recommend sourcing an AAZ K03 or T2
with matching manifold.
