95 TSI project questions

[Cammaxon]

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? I had 315awhp on my sti (tuned at DB) but ended up with a hole in my piston so I want to keep it around stock #’s and boost but I want a fmic. Any ideas on a decent turbo under $600? Used? YES OR NO? and how about a FMIC and piping?

Any suggestions?
