The case could have been line bored and then oversize bearings installed. I don't think that the VW logo means bonestock parts. The best way to tell is to measure the bore. The case should measure 70 mm (2.7559") if it is standard. You should be able to measure this roughly with a ruler which has at least .5 mm increments. Line bore oversizes are .020, .040, .060, .080 inches. If it is in good shape, and standard bore, I'd think you have a jewel there. Chris.(Don't know much about T4's)
