Posting this for a Facebook Vanagon traveler that is stranded in Alaska with a ruined turbo on his 1Z TDI-powered van.

He has a GT-15 wastegate turbocharger, with separate manifold, seeking a replacement or compatible, with 3-bolt triangle manifold flange.
Not equipped for a VNT.

I've directed him here to sign up to view/answer posts.

Thanks!!

I have a Chinese made clone for that set up. Decided not to use it and rebuilt instead. New with steel gaskets, no mounting  studs or bolts. I paid $300.00 will happily send it to Alaska for $175.00 plus shipping from Ontario Canada.

New actual Borg Warner ones are available for $600ish.
