i installed a 1.6td, approx 1991, 90kmiles. mechanic owned so i thought it was a good bet to be problem free.it starts and idle fine. i had two engines to choose from and bench tested both;.what i did not realize, the turbo didnot turn on the test start up. now that the motor is inall mounted, wired and plumbed i realize the turbo is locked up. i know the turbo did work but then the new owner pulled the engine trans in lieu of some other engine.so...i have very little turbo experience. the id tag with stamped info (last line of three)said k14 then 6088, it was hard to see. it appears it is hard to remove with the engine in car. any on line advice. i have a second engine witha larger turbo seemingly on the same manifold. i should have tested this engine further though it did not starteasily or run smoothly while the engine i did install started and ran well right away.
thanks,rayoh, can i drive the car this way if i route the intake hose differently.
