• What k14 turbo should I be looking for.  I am rebuilding a stock 1.6td.   This will go into my 80 rabbit and just used as a daily driver.  No racing and no mods done to the engine.  I heard the 1.9 k14 turbo is different than the 1.6 version.  Should I just stick with the 1.6 since I am going to be all stock?  And if so what turbo part number should I be looking at
  
  Thanks Brian

• this one is off of a 1.6TD eco-diesel
  I THINK I read that it has the smaller impeller, but I don't know for sure

• AAZ compressor is 5cm across the bottom, 3.48cm at the top of the blades.

• So I am now looking for these turbos.  068145704d or the 028145703e.  It all depends on if I want the larger compressor wheel or not.

  Ok dumb question #49 (in an open ended sequence...)
  
  I'm still getting up the curve on everything TD - what difference does a larger compressor wheel make?
