That is exactly what it is, it is the bottom bolt on the IP, the arm goes to the IP bolt on the engine

My current plan of attack: I have pulled a Garret TB25 turbo off of a Saab 900, which gives no more boost than 12 psi, I plan to adjust the spring for only 9-10 PSI max, with a blow off valve and wastegate, the blow off valve is simply to protect the engine as this is a non-turbo engine, so I am kee...

hagar.

Same thing as hagars, mine hangs, but the governor and acceleration handle is fine, I've just kind of accepted it as a 'Rabbit' thing

I am about to put a Garret TB-25 from a Saab 900, I've heard good stories about 1.6l NA with a turbo install

Any thoughts?

do yourself a favor and get head studs if your block is okay. i'm a tightwad but the money spent on studs is so completely worth it in my book i will not ever use regular bolts again on any VW diesel, 11mm or 12mm. so. pull the head off, check block for cracks around bolts holes, if okay, order new...

Usually when the fuel gauge and temp gauge don't work (in unison), it means the voltage stabilizer on the back of the cluster is bad. That might be the case, but I think you should check all of your grounds (especially any near the fuel sending unit, if you have a MK1 Jetta. Mine both didn't work, ...

Installed gasket, new injectors and pump. The gas , weepy head, fair body, very good interior. I hate to give them to a s...

I wanted to start a little discussion, I am working on building up a Rally VW TD. I'd like tips on what changes to make to a standard block as far as building up a cost efficient performance engine. ------- so said the Rally guy.. Well you got your discussion going . here is hagars tips. Block ? mu...

I cleaned the block and head with a VERY light grit sandpaper and WD-40. Having another issue: Have good compression, not using oil, but I am losing a cylinder on cold crank, but it comes back if I give it some fuel and let it warm up. Also getting black smoke during driving, I have narrowed it down...

Its not that hard to pull the dash apart, and the indicators are all one unit, so you can pull them easily. Should have a big plug on the top with copper contacts and a screw on connector for the speedometer which can be a pain to unscrew if you have bigger hands

Some of the newer diesel engines have a quite large deep recess in them. I forget the technical name that they were called. But, it has to do with a more complete burn (lower emissions) and also making that diesel "knock" much more quieter. I suspected that it was to induce swirl and cont...
