I wish someone here had mentioned this when I asked : Other things to do while doing T-Belt ...
 
There are a couple coolant hoses to do while doing Belts & Pumps.

Turbo Coolant Return line (see <A href="https://forums.audiworld.com/s4s6/msgs/73315.phtml">bottom photo here</A>)
- replace with 3/8" 10mm Coolant Hose
- remove and clean out the Banjo bolt

Coolant Heater hose (see the <A href="https://forums.audiworld.com/s4s6/msgs/70744.phtml">short piece of hose here</A>)
- replace with 3/4" Coolant Hose

Thermostat -&gt; Radiator -&gt; Coolant Reservoir Line

Be very careful to :
- pre-fill the coolant lines (esp the Thermostat-Radiator line) before starting engine up again.
- heater on full &amp; wait at least 10 mins until temp reaches the mark i.e. thermostat opens and all the engine/block/head passageways fill with coolant
- keep filling the reservoir

Also check you CV boots while your at it ;-)

By mileage I think you mean gas mileage .... right ? 14~25 mpg on 91
 
I got 190K on stock turbo's
I found the head was already cracked and head gasket had started leaking

Preventative maintanence can kill a fragile old engine - do it carefully.
