You need to take the following (assuming it's a series 4)
Transmission, tranny mount, engine (with wiring intact), ECU, fuel pump, pressure sensor (passanger side strut tower), AFM, inlet duct, downpipe/cat's, brake booster line (with the checkvalve in it), the TII rear-end, the TII halfshafts, the tII driveshaft as well, the hood (if it's not ruined from the accident?) That should about cover it.

What if I have a 88 GTU. I already have the TII brakes.
Would I still need the brake booster?
Also I already have LSD and don't really wanna swap rear ends. Is it true the TII drive shaft won't mate with the N/A rear end.

Yes, it won't properly mate, and the NA rear-end doesn't hold up well with the extra torque/power of the turbo. So... it's best to swap it regardless. I didn't say to replace the booster itself, just the line that runs accross the firewall and connects to the intake, that needs to be swapped, there's a check valve in the Turbo one's and there isn't in the NA's.

thare are many how-too's on the net. Do a search of the forum, and check out www.rotaryresurrection.com there is a good how to in there. I did the swap, it's not as hard as most people think. It will be much easier since you have a turboII parts car. good luck
