[Vwdiesel] AHU Turbo wanted. Might turn '98 Jetta FS

[brian hoeft]

Hi list,

Finally got to look at a late 97 build (98) Jetta TDI my friend picked up
here in the Poconos.

After fixing a few vacuum issues and poorly secured conections, its starts
and runs(idles) fine.

Problem is, hold the pedal down and it barely rev's past 3k RPM. From how
the ECU was mounted (wasnt) I thought maybe it got damp and the MAP sensor
had issues or the hose being routed wrong was pinched or clogged, but nope..
Pulled the intake off and found the compressor wheel binding, F'K..

Sooo, anybody have a turbo? cheap? '98 AHU, Turbo. This is the novel piece
of engineering that incorporates the turbine side into the Exh.Mani. so its
the whole shabang unless someones got a cracked EM from which I can swap the
CHRA.

Also, looking at option's if theres BTDT going big turbo. I might have a
lead on a K04 setup. I've done odd stuff before like flipping manifolds and
mocking up flanges or fluid lines but would like to hear of others'
experience with a factory oriented upgrade.

If these options don't pan out, he may wind up selling a car thats good
otherwise if someone wants to send some offers..

Thanks!
-Brian
