Just the turbo?
 None of the other parts like turbo oil drain?

Says it is a K14 but the wastegate seems like it is wrong; T2???

I think the oil drain is the same as K24? The flange on my K24 looks identical similar to the post below.

That looks like a T3. I asked for some pics of the label and general condition, etc...thanks for the link.

The T2/T3, is that the other stock VW turbo that was found mostly on the early MK2 TDs?

Yes the T3 was garretts equivalent to the K24. The T2 is slightly different, a bit smaller and was found on some ecodiesels 90-92, bit harder to find. Both have better, more reliable wastegates than their kkk counterparts.

I might have one.
They have the metal can or the cast one with the cooling fins for a waste gate can?
 What are they worth?

T3's have a metal can with dual rubber hoses...I'm quite confident the eBay link above is a T3.

The market for this old diesel stuff
 around is very competitive...things don't seem to last very long after listing.

In terms of value, I guess it depends on the condition, the wastegate especially. Maybe 100-150? Not sure
