Re: A new project!! (input requested)




Nate,

In regards to a Turbo Diesel Scirocco, cool idea, but alot of work!

second, turboing the 1.7:  I looked into doing the same thing with the
Jetta TD setup.....the exhaust manifold wont fit on your 1.7, the intake
manifold gets in the way....if you figure a way around it, that would be a
good low boost turbo setup.  The 1.7 wouldn't have a problem with the
boost that the Jetta TD turbo puts out (5 or 6 psi max if I remember
correctly) you would just need to change your control pressure regulator
with the audi turbo unit so you won't have the problems like Wing is
experiencing...
