Best turbo depends on what you want to accomplish.
For quick spool up you'd want a K14, for max boost a K03, there is also the K24 which I think is sort of between the two.
The K14 spools quick but is limited to 18-20 lbs of boost, a K03 will take lots of boost but spool up ~1,000 RPM later.
VNT on an IDI has been done by several, search for it. There is also a thread on Jack's forum

Hi,
Could some one offer guidance I don't know what my turbo is. I can read Garrett. BCC. F4 on it and I was told by the shop that is came from a 1.6 VW. Thanks.

I want to buy a K14 if someone is selling

I think i have a K14 but i am not sure as i am not able to see any labels on the turbo?
i will have a closer look when taking the head off ready for the new one.
if it is a k14 is it ok to up the boost a bit?

I find T3s big and laggy with stock fueling and a stock exhaust but as I've found out mine was rather worn so that may not be accurate

i run a k14 off an ecodiesel and it is great man. i run almost 19 lbs boost and it is spooled all the time. im getting a turbo pump on there soon and i dont think you would want to run much more boost than that with proper fueling. go with the k14!

fueling shouldnt be a problem, Now ,do i want a k14 from a vw ?There are different versions of the k14 right?External or internal waiste gate?Can you keep an internal wg closed longer mechanically?

i thought it went K03, K14, then K24? and garrett (which most believe is superior) T2, and T3.

There are a lot of different K03s, I believe the diesel one is a K03 003

T2 gets my bill. Good overall boost down low. Good for 17 psi.

Nope, they're just big and laggy with stock fuel and exhaust !

You are probably right, I can't keep them straight. :wink:

i like the internal wastegates better for simpler plumbing... but the external flows alot better and will give you more power once you reach max boost.
