like the title says i want 2 k14 turbos, preferably in rebuildable shape, as they will be rebuilt anyway. no manifolds needed, oil drain lines might be nice though. Whatcha got?

wondering if there are any other turbos out there from gassers that would be close in performance/trim/mapping to a K14.....one that comes to mind for me is the IHI rhb5 turbo found on late ford turbocoupes and mazda 626's and probes.....any thoughts?......and how well would a T3 perform on a tdi M?......has anyone tried this?

still looking, i don't need both at once, so if you only have one let me know, i'll take it

I would think the IHI would do the job. Great little turbo. Good to 18psi. Most from the TC's are dual cooled (oil/water) which equates longer life. Most IHI's were replaced with larger T3/4 hybrids as they are small for the 2.3L, so chances are that one you pick up will have low miles on it..
