Yeah I met a bloke from Orange at the VW Nationals. Markus? He had a Mars Red Mk 2 Turbo. Looked sweet as, although I didn`t like the cutting of the front of the car. A Machine though. Anyone got any pics?

"I didn`t like the cutting of the front of the car. "

A Big front mount intercooler. There was also a Golf Caddy ( Ute ) with a 20v Turbo Lump in it from the Canberra VW Centre. Here is a pic.

No power at the moment! i had a rebuild done on the motor and i got screwed the car runs the same as before i brought it in blows lots of smoke (worn rings)the turbo is fine, the carby is a little rich- would have to change jetting, the timing is way off and starter motor bolt fell out of the engine bay a couple days after i got the car back one tranny bolt is missing a nut amongst a host of other f#*%ups all this after $3900 spent i would appreciate help from someone in melb who has engine hoist/facilities to take my motor apart i have no more cash to spend on the car i need to remedy this myself i have worked on other cars myself (incl turbo) i more than happy to help someone with their own setup.
