FS/trade- VNT15 (17?)/manifold from TDI (needs rebuild)

[hamradio]

I bought this a while back in unknown condition, stuck it on my car, started it up, and oil was pouring out of the turbine.  I'm done with messing with it.  Comes with a cut apart actuator.  It did, however, spool up nicely.  About 1mm of side to side play, seems like just a tad of end to end play (if I pull on or push the shaft hard).  Also has a 1/4" npt drain fitting I welded up for it, and I might be talked into including a 4an oil feed adapter and some downpipe flanges I cut for it.  The part number on it suggests it *may* be a vnt 17, I dunno.  I could post up the numbers if needed.

Make an offer (I don't expect too much), or would trade/cash plus the vnt for a 1.6 TD manifold or manifold/turbo.  Or a set of good injectors.  Actually, I'd probably trade for a lot of things, I love trading stuff.  


A couple pics, does not include that oil drain line, and as mentioned, the actuator can is cut apart.





Thanks,

Where are you located and could you post the part number?

I'm in minnesota, and the turbo is a GT1749V.  I heard that's a VNT17, but I'm not totally sure.  I could find the vw PN's on the mani and turbo, if needed.

I need to buy a VNT manifold, but does anyone know if a VNT 20 will bolt right up to this manifold?
Thanks,

I don't know...I'd almost guess not, as the turbine is probably bigger on a vnt20...best bet is to ask around tdiclub.
