ALH TDI Turbo on 1.6? Link to info
« on: January 26, 2008, 02:58:10 pm »
I am on dail-up (satellite service soon) and it takes a lot of time to do searches.

Does anyone have info or a link to installing a TDI Turbo on a 1.6 VW diesel.

I have a 1.6 Turbo block and head...

VNT 15 Turbo on a 1.6
« Reply #2 on: January 26, 2008, 07:01:05 pm »
The TDI turbo I am looking to install on a 1.6 is the VNT 15... OEM.

My 1.6 block is bored .010 over and has Turbo Pistons, turbo oil pump, and a tubo oil pan.  I have a rebuildable head.

I am concerned about how to control boost, maximum boost, etc., on the 1.6...

Any help will be appreciated..... hoping to install in the Caddy!
