I have a 2.2 OBD 1 Turbo in storage since 2008. Fully rebuilt with the ECU ready to go.

But I'm not sure if I should sell it or install it. And I don't remember if I need to have the documentation for the donor vehicle. I seem to remember the mechanic who was going to put it in his Vanagon, holding the documentation. Either he has it. Or I do. Or maybe I don't really need it. I don't know.

But I'm leaning to a Franken Motor.

I don't really know what to think anymore.

My grip on everything has been weakening for so long eventually I'll just fall.
