Turbo, wastegate(most junkyard turbos have integral wastegate that works fine),exh. manifold, downpipe,piping blow off valve, intercooler, oil feed and drain lines for bearing housing, boost guage, A/F guage, Fuel enrichment module.

How much of that would be usable from my 1.6 turbo diesel?

How much of that would be usable from my 1.6 turbo diesel?almost everything but turboing a cis or cis-e is pretty asinine because of the fuel system which is pretty bad straight from the factory you would be running lean or rich all day if you swapped a turbo in and didn't the proper tuning might as well get rid of the cis-e and go digi 1 throw that turbo diesel turbo setup in and be happy :P

IMHO CIS or CIS-e would be fine using a small turbo such as TD. THere are plenty of people sucessfully running boost on CIS that I would go for it. Just make sure you do a fuel enrichment module. Ive seen CIS turbos with over 200hp on Volvo turbo injection components. But to swap Digi1 in only to use a TD turbo would be a complete waste.

But to swap Digi1 in only to use a TD turbo would be a complete waste.True but volvo cis and volkswagen cis is two different systems they are very close but not the same.As for the using digi 1 with a turbo diesel setup unless you have thousands of dollars to shell out our are a crazy enthusiast who's into using homemade setups (megasquirt etc) digi 1 is the way to go or a piggy back setup which will both run you around the same price once all components are put together between 200-500 as for the digi 1 with a turbo diesel setup well that's the beauty of turbos you can always get a new mani,turbo and a couple other smaller components and have a turbo upgrade when you have more money but.It's all about the person's drive to learn and try and fail because they will try and fail some people aren't built for that or have skills or pockets to take on the task so they leave it alone or leave it up for someone else to do.I'm not trying to say that cis is a bad setup for turbo well actually I am saying cis is a bad setup for turbo if you have other options and your skill or wallet provides those options because the amount of time and money your gonna use to get the cis setup running correctly you could have put it towards a more powerful more stable setup.Well dave hit me up on pm or drop me your email and I can give you some reading for turboing your cis and turbo setups in general

well said, too bad corrados are getting rarer, they truly are vw's greatest parts car! :wink: but still, cis CAN run boost effectively with fuel enrichment, and it is way cheaper than digi1 if you already have it.
