Hi,
i have the 2003 brochure online:
http://vwpix.terlinden.com/prospekte/de ... 01_Schick/
It's in german, but it's the only one they have. I think you can contact Schick directly per e-mail:
Schick-Turbo@t-online.de
E D I T: In South Africa they had a Turbo Bus too. It was made by Kohler. The brochure:

Should go quite well, that.. but it might be worth checking that a Scooby conversion isn't a cheaper way to get similar horsepower. The Wasserboxer can be temperamental even in standard tune, so it might be a bit fragile when turbo'd; the Scooby 2.5 from the Legacy is close to bulletproof and might be a better long-term proposition (or fit a 2.0 turbo from an Impreza for less low-down torque but more top-end). TSR now sell a direct conversion kit to fit the Scooby lump to the T3 gearbox. Also probably worth getting the gearbox rebuilt before throwing too much power at it - T3 gearboxes aren't strong even when paired with a 78bhp DG engine.

I think that'll be the 2.2, rather than the 2.5, which has some issues with head gaskets and being bled up......
