thanks for tips re turbos- need to get a good looka t the car to make sure its worth spending the money on.

also need to decide if I'm doing the timing belt
TIMING BELT ? That is a HAVE TO...
Unless the previous owners are your family and YOU took the car to mechanic, DO THE TIMING BELT ! Otherwise the cost of the R & R would be 5-6 the value of your car, just for the engine + labor

PS. I have the KONI and they ARE worth the extra money. Would someone around you have a VW with KONI's ? See if you can drive or be in it, you'll feel the difference :-)
