Hi Avi, Javad,

Be careful with terms like K26 and K24.  Audi used many different turbos.
The RS2 is a K24, which is different than the 200's K24, and both of these
differ from what was used in, say, the European K24 based diesel models.
The terms K24 and K26 denote family of housing, I believe.  It might even
just denote the hot side housing.  The impellers on the hot and cold side
can vary greatly within the housing family.

Somewhere I have a copy of a page from an older KKK catalog that shows the
KKK and Audi part numbers for all the various models of turbos used by
Audi -- I'll have to find it, scan it and post it somewhere.

There are also plenty of cars running K26 and K24 turbos that are not Audis.

I think when you are saying K26 you mean the K26 from an MC, and K24 is a
K24 from a 3B ???

Best,
