I have a beetle with 301,500 miles with stuck vanes in the turbo. The thread on cleaning this is blocked, so I am introducing myself to get access.
My ALH engine has never been apart, But I have larger injectors, an Auromatic pump (larger piston), and an external "power box" for additional fuel. Stock clutch still lives, and can spin the tires on a throttle only acceleration in second gear at 2000 RPM.
One trip a Year I drive for mileage, and can still get 55 MPG. Daily mileage is closer to 42MPG.

Yes you have to make an intro in here before you have access to the members only section, your learning.

Welcome! Look at it this way, you certainly got enough life out of the turbo. With that mod list, why not go to a VNT 17?
