that's why I offered my TDI Jetta. It's a perfect commuting car. 50+mpg and tons of torque. Great for those stoplight to stoplight races.
Unfortunately the dog is not an english bulldog, but a boston terrier. almost the same, except smaller.
GLWS. If you don't sell before you move, maybe we can work something out. You can always store the car at my place in Delaware. I'm only 2 hours from the city. And I would be sure to exercise it at least monthly.

This looks like the turbo that was in houston that came from turbokraft and was owned by a doctor or some of the sort that was trying to be sold a while back. Looks really nice.

Surprised at the muted response. All who would be motivated by compression/leakdown send the word... I have no problem taking care of it if there's sincere interest.

I cannot believe that you have not sold the car yet. There was someone that started a thread looking for a turbo, maybe you should contact him.
My offer for storage is still on the table.
good luck.

Passing smog
Concerning the question about passing smog: no problem.
We originally built 2 exhausts for this car:
1 = high flow all-metal cat + stock muffler -- quiet, emissions-friendly
2 = 3" stainless cat bypass + stock muffler -- low-cost, sort-of free-flowing (subsequent chassis dyno showed more than 22rwhp gain from free-flow muffler, below)
With exhaust #1 installed, it passed AZ emissions testing -- which is actually MORE STRICT than CA testing.
(How is it more strict? All our test centers are state owned and operated, so there's none of the shenanigans I know go on at some test facilities in CA.)
And since this is pre-OBD-II, passing smog isn't that hard, really. We wrote an emissions-friendly program, installed the cat, and voila -- passed the IM240 emissions test.
We can do this for any pre-1996 car with a quality programmable engine management system.
TurboKraft also built a free-flowing 3" racing muffler (Borla XR1 multi-core) that was a lot quieter than most aftermarket exhausts. Bruce complained it was a little too quiet for his tastes. We liked it, very mellow with no resonance at all, and no measurable restriction or power loss compared to a 934-style dump pipe (aka zork tube).
I don't know if all of these are still with the car. We last serviced the car in May 2007. Still went like a bat-out-of-hell and had good compression & leakdown numbers then.

I've had several people tell me they have the cash ready to wire and end up dropping contact without raising any particular concerns. As I mentioned had a perfectly nice guy ready to buy but he realized this setup means louder than stock and was worried about his wife and neighbors' feelings about it.
Car is at the mechanic getting checked over and getting a new shifter bushing and I'm going to go ahead and have him do leak down and compression. If the numbers are in the realm I expect and I don't get someone jumping in pretty quickly, I'll probably go the ebay route, which might mean more effort and more tire kickers but potentially a higher sale price than my asking here. I tried to price the car aggressively to offer a very good deal, even assuming the new owner wanted to have every issue tackled by a pro (AC, chips on the front hood, etc), but maybe the price leads people to assume something is wrong...?
If all else fails, I'll keep having the minor cosmetic issues on the car fixed up on my end and relist it with an improved description and a higher price...
