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

[Bryan Belman]

I thought only the BEW motor had that all in one turbo unit, molded into the 
EM.  Crazy looking thing for sure when I saw it on my engine.
past year 2000 anyway.

Why does a 98 have the turbo and exhaust combo?  All of the 97-99.5 Jetta TDIs I 
have seen have a seperate turbo that is relatively easy to remove and replace 
(ask me I have experience!  :( )  Sounds like someone has pulled a motor 
swithc.  Should be an ALH in those cars not the AHU at least in the US.  Hayden

You can replace only the turbo 'cartridge' with a reman and save a bunch 
of money.
No need to replace the entire manifold assy.
