Have you noticed that the Family Album appears to list three wastegate
supports? It soon becomes obvious that items 12 &13 have been mixed up.
AQS 2-53-24-00 shows part 14 - #035 145 880 support WR,GV,WX,MB
AQS 2-53-25-00 shows part 12 - #035 145 879 support WR,GV,WX,MB
AQS 2-53-25-00 shows part 13 - #035 145 880 support WR,GV,WX,MB

There's a 035 145 880 fitted to my 81 WR - don't know about 879, it isn't
something that I recognize. No 880 on my MB - by that time Audi had probably
sold them all to a navy that was short of anchors...
