Later boxes where stronger due to beefing up internally. Generally it is a better idea to get the latest box you can find, from either an injection or Light pressure turbo model with the least mileage and most service history you can find, as that will have had the least strain put on it compared to a higher mileage full pressure turbo unit that has been thrashed to death. -- The poster formerly known as Skodapilot. http://www.bouncing-czechs.com
