Yeah - I am. I was there when my brother bought it. The Mk3 came with a turbo from day 1.

As for the power - the real thing holding me up is the head gasket, I have no record of it being changed. There is also a little knock - I am trying to determine if it is valve or crank. I might just get a second 7M short block and start from there.

I suppose that's possible. Mfg date is late 1986 - so it makes sense.
