k03 turbo from an AHU to AAZ
« on: September 07, 2011, 05:48:20 pm »
I have a diesel vanagon with an AAZ from a 96 golf. The turbo is a k03 and needs new turbines and shaft. I'm having trouble finding these parts. Any ideas? How compatible is this engine with say a turbo from an AHU.  would I need new manifolds/ downpipe flange to run an AHU turbo.  ( I would also have to have it clocked since my engine is at 45 degrees.    Thanks, Paolo

The AHU manifold and turbo will physically bolt to the AAZ head.. I am unsure on fitment and what not.. The k03 on the tdi manifold is low mounted so im not sure how it will work. Are you trying to replace the k03 that originally came on the aaz? I think their fairly different?

they sell LOTS of 1.8T K03 turbos on ebay.. CHEAP.

the diesel versions, not soo common..
92 Jetta GLI - Black, 1.6D w/ GT2056V turbo..
86 GTI - 4 Door, Med Twilight Gray, Tow Machine..
86 Audi Coupe GT - Tornado Red, All Stock.. WRECKED.
89 Toyota 4Runner - Dark Grey Metallic, LIFTED!

Turbo: exhaust gasses go into the turbocharger and spin it, witchcraft happens and you go faster.

I meant the shaft and impellers.....  but they may be different also! 


What is your timeframe for needing one?  I have a few k03s right now, but won't know what I have surplus for a few weeks.
