WTB: VNT-22

[catlin_cava]

i'm looking for a VNT-22, I don;t care if it needs to be rebuilt...cheap as possible since i'm in College and really can';t afford a rebuild.

Dn't you mean a useable turbo  since you can't afford a rebuild?

I need to rebuild my motor...its got 430 and the turbo let go, Cheap means I cvan get someone to fix it for me or do it myself lol

[R.O.R-2.0]

so, you went from trying to sell it, to having to keep it, and doing upgrades??

you musta been hard on that little turbo? you got an 01 ALH dont you? ive over sped my VNT way WAY bad before, and it still boosts fine.

shaft break, or seals let go?

[catlin_cava]

No boost, but she still whistles, and grinds, and the speed of it picks up and goes down on its own wirthout the engine RPMs changing, so *** it, I'm rebuilding the motor,

[R.O.R-2.0]

why dont you see if it even needs rebuilt yet? if its still healthy enough, just leave it be..

theres no reason doing a full rebuild if it still runs and starts good..

my $.02 atleast..

Because I have drives to School right now so Im taking my Travelling Expense Check and going to rebuild the motor. Why Not?

I wouldn't throw in the towel quite yet.  It sounds like you have an issue, no doubt but I would speculate that it doesn't necessitate a full engine rebuild.  I've torn apart TDIs with similar mileage and the internals have, for the most part, been completely within spec.  Now if your turbo flew apart, well, that may be a different story.  Do some digging.  If you're not confident, go to the tdiclub and find a local guru and have them spend an hour or two diagnosing your issue, may end up being money very well spent.

The nearest shop that works with VWs is the dealer. I'm just going to change turbo and do a freshen up on it. Its not wasted money as I see it
