here is the original window sticker from the Jetta 19 and 26.
On the Dyno the Jetta was pig rich with a 4 bar, 3 bar is stock for the mine. Your Corrado is not OBD2, so of course it is different.

Doubt it. The engine is like 99% bolt in i've heard. Would probably be stand alone management too so I could use the stock cluster.

I would like the 4motion, very costly conversion I have heard. If I had AWD I would be ready to go turbo. My friends who have front wheel drive VRTs have massive traction problems. haha I have heard the 2.8l are less fragile than the 3.2l when boosted, so I would use my VR rather than the R32 motor. I guess that is my pipe dream. haha Have actually ran the numbers 4 motion swap around 12k, going turbo 6-8k. I would like to do an R32 interior swap as well...that is more affordable.

meh
when you have the 250hp or whatever it is from an R32 you won't need a turbo. Plus, there's some people running 280-300hp N/A on the vortex with simple mods.
