Well the less than gentle gentleman from VWVortex - TheFNman- has managed to jerk me around twice in this deal gone quite sour. The 150 turbo he promised would work is indeed deemed non-functioning by the dealership (White VW in Greeneville, SC). I will be in the works on recooping my money and being sure he gets his product back.
They have a suitable turbo, new in stock, for 720ish. I would get a new turbo, labor, the gaskets, new heat shielding, and supply lines for about 1300. I got to do it.
The cam seals are bad, and so is a check valve which I forget the name of right now.
Total if I wanted it ALL fixed, a mere 1900. Near 1/3 the cost of the car to me.
I am regretting this purchase.
