RE: Water cooled turbo conversion-ur-quattro

[quattro <quattro@acacianet.com>]

The WC K24 turbo was the best single upgrade I had performed to the 85 ur-q up to that time. It is the superior throttle response and greatly improved low-end torque that really makes it worthwhile, not just the fact that it is water cooled. You will need the correct oil and water lines for the K24 turbo from a donor vehicle. You will also need the 'freeze plug' with the nipple for the water return. All in all this is not a technically difficult upgrade and is highly recommended.

All,
 I'd like to hear the experiences any of you have had converting your ur-
quattros to the K24. I have three options for my 85 urq. Have my turbo
rebuilt-$300, have a custom job done-$500 or convert to the water cooled
turbo-$?.
 I'm interested in hearing about all of it.
Thanks
Anton
