I’m starting to fix up my 1995 TSI AWD that has been sitting for 2 years after the clutch went out and I neglected it because I was focusing on my 04 STi.

Before I start to put $ into it I know I want to check the compression and timing. I’m currently in Iraq and want to get this all going when I get home. I’m told it’s a 6-bolt, that it has a coolant leak, a boost leak and will need a new turbo. I love DSMs but am I getting in over my head? What else should I have inspected on the car before starting to fix things?

Any suggestions?
