<< locate a '81-'83 5000 turbo diesel. good luck..people arent aware that there werent many of these cars made, and second, most of them have already made into soup cans. i can count the number of 5000TD's ive seen in my life, on one hand.. not many of them made. >>

also like to add that the '81-'83 5000TD is NOT intercooled like the '86 up turbos are. turbocharger life is cut in half, when not intercooled.

chris '86 5000 intercooled turbo gas quattro (180k and orig turbo) '84 5000 oilcooled turbo gas (160k and 2nd turbo) '84 Vanagon (hopefully w/ '86 up intercooled turbo gas motor soon)
