Need more info than that, what are you on about? Exhaust downpipe? What's up with the turbo? Is it blown? Was oil peeing through the engine or out the exhaust or was the car just lacking poke? What engine? ASV?

yeah the studs on the downpipe can come in 3 or 4 stud.Car is throwing clouds of blue smoke out of it and also i an oily smell coming from the car and no power with a horrible whinning noise?yeah its an asv engine and seems to be oil in aroung the intercooler pipe

3 on the vnt and 4 on the wastegate, that's the way I've always seen it so far. Yours is a vnt as the wastegate was only on some 90's.

It sound like the bearings have gone right enough though, some of the turbos are part of the manifold like on the ALH but not sure on the ASV or AHF which yours must be. Anyway can't your mechanic just count the studs on the turbo that's on the car?

yeah he was supposed to let me know today so i could arrange to get the turbo but cant get a hold of him.but i think your right mate 3 stub seem to be the most common and the most exspensive lol.£200 pound of different in the 3 stud and 4 stud.Thanks for your help lad.

if you ring jabbasport and give them your reg they will be able to tell you which model turbo you need etc ( including a part number)

Sod that, why not get a vnt 17 from the PD 130/150 instead, might aswell if you're buying one anyway and it's future proofed for tuning later. Some bigger nozzles, a vnt 17 and a tune = 170 - 180 bhp

 

[damienm633]

Could i do that lad?would I have 2 do anything else to fit a bigger turbo?

You'll ned to check exactly which one fit because some go off to the left and some go off to the right but ask on that place giving your engine code etc and you'll get some good answers, they're well into tuning the tdi's.
