turbo question
« on: March 13, 2015, 07:51:18 pm »

im looking at putting in AAZ in my mk2 golf witch is currently a 1.6 N/a. The AAZ im going to look at tomorrow original turbo crapped out. but has a T25 turbo off a Saab with it. only problem is that the exhaust manifold on the motor is a 3 bolt and the turbo is a 4 bolt. is there any other manifold i could use or is the only way to get a manifold made. Also would i be able to use a a mk3 aaz downpipe?

Look for any new  VW 8-valve turbo manifold on eBay. They're all the same.

That may be a bit misleading.  The exhaust port/fastener layout is the same.  The other side obviously isn't.  I've seen 7 distinctly different 8 valve turbo manifolds.  There are 8v T25 manifolds available, although they aim the turbo straight back.  Fitment may or may not be an issue.  Also, that saab turbo may not be a desirable match to the AAZ.
