Garret T15, Quite a smallish turbo off a TDI, but apparently it should take more or a hounding.

the car it came off went very well

also got a 'custom' Inlet with it, and the correct down pipe too!

just got to book a day or two off work,

Order a 180 degree bend and a few little bits of inter cooler/Inlet piping to make it all work and then il plop it on.

il try and clean it all up before fitting too... unsure.png

I've got a mate says he's got a turbo manifold for mine, with an engine on 170k it doesn't seem sensible though :lol:

it ran! then it all had to come off due to the manifold blowing! it was a little warped, and i noticed some issues with studs!

so some getto skimming!

got the Jetta going again today. ran much better. idled down lovely, the rattle quietened down so was probably lifters needing some oil.

carb still leaks fuel, but leaks less when warm. idle is a little lumpy too. carb will be sent off anyway!

door membranes nearly done!

so ..
