turboacvw Posted December 21, 2009 Report Share Posted December 21, 2009 (edited) I had a quest for about a month till it ate some rod bearings. I used it to turbo my beetle, and sold the rest. I have missed it since the day I sold it and I want another one. I'm not looking for a perfect car, just a really clean driver that doesn't have any problems. It has to be a widebody, and black is my favorite but that really doesnt matter. Im located in Keokuk,IA It's not very rusty, and what rust is there I have patch panels for. The pans are a couple years old, but are nice and were recently cleaned up and painted chassis black. All suspension components have been painted and theres a lot of new stainless hardware too. I have a lot of time and money invested in this car and it's alot of fun and definetly gets lots of attention. It's low, loud, and rough. Ton's of fun! The bad: It has no turn signals. The switch is there and I have them relocated to the headlight bucket, it just needs a little bit of wiring. I just never worried about them It has: 6 1/2" narrowed adjustable beam2 1/2" drop spindles(not installed yet)New Empi lowering shocksNew brakesBuggy master cylinderpoly transaxle mountsExternal oil cooler kit with filter (not installed)New beam bushingsNew CV bootsNew running boardsNew center caps and lugnuts2 new tie rod endsNew windshieldWindow seals are a couple years oldAuto stick self supporting starter1600 Dual Port engine009 distributor Ngk plugsWeber Progressive 32/36 carbHolley fuel pumpvacuum referenced fuel pressure regulator36hp fan shroudmechanical fuel pump block off w/ turbo drainScat valve coversSachs clutchAccell Super CoilOld HKS BOVCustom carb hatclamp on filter58-61 snowflake tail lightsEarlier hood I'm sure theres a bunch of stuff I'm forgetting too. http://images.thesamba.com/vw/gallery/pix/616830.jpghttp://images.thesamba.com/vw/gallery/pix/616826.jpghttp://images.thesamba.com/vw/gallery/pix/616828.jpghttp://images.thesamba.com/vw/gallery/pix/630038.jpghttp://images.thesamba.com/vw/gallery/pix/630041.jpghttp://images.thesamba.com/vw/gallery/pix/630040.jpghttp://i65.photobucket.com/albums/h221/crrider17/Turbo003.jpghttp://i65.photobucket.com/albums/h221/crrider17/Turbo009.jpghttp://i65.photobucket.com/albums/h221/crrider17/Turbo012.jpghttp://i65.photobucket.com/albums/h221/crrider17/Turbo001.jpghttp://i65.photobucket.com/albums/h221/crrider17/Turbo005.jpg Edited March 10, 2010 by turboacvw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turboacvw Posted December 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 23, 2009 (edited) I got most of the exhaust leaks fixed, painted the carb hat black, and fixed the boost leak. It's running great now. Edited December 29, 2009 by turboacvw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patra_is_here Posted December 28, 2009 Report Share Posted December 28, 2009 why do you have the air flow meter still on there???? just put some fine mesh screen over the turbo inlet on and call it a day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's on there just because that what I for an air filter at the time. I plan to just eliminate the whole intake and everything, and put a clamp on filter directly on the turbo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
