I keep getting questions like this, soooooo...
The engine will bolt into anything with any VW from 1976-1998 at a minimum. But with any turbo swap, the fueling is up to you.
If you have a Rabbit or early Golf you have CIS injection(metal lines going to each injector from the air box). This head wont work with that, but its no big deal since going with a good turbo system means swapping over to EFI.
If you have a Digifant car from 88-92(has a plastic fuel rail that feeds the injectors and an air box) you will need to lengthen your wires for the injectors. Same with a Corrado. But because its turbo, you will still need to do EFI mods like a chip.
If you have a Corrado injection system, its pretty much the same as Digifant except you dont needa chip.
If you have a 93-98 Golf Jetta, the engine will go right in, you just need to upgrade the injection to handle a turbo.

Bump for an old skool turbo guy.... he taught me the formula for budget octane booster... half a can of this, a capful of that, shake it up and BAM, 98 octane.
Have you talked to Alex lately? I was thinking about his turbo rabbit the other day.

Nope, havent talked to Alex in probably 2 or 3 years, havent talked to Coleman since probably 2000.... Jeff is doing really good these days, which is pretty funny considering all the shit people used to give him..
Well, the car is about 60% stripped now...
An old skool classic Tampa dub is about to be put down...
