Have an AAZ out of my car for a swap into something else (I'll post pictures when I'm a little farther along). Early engine with a K14. I have 2 T3's off 1.6 engines on the shelf, and 2 K24's still in cars on 1.6 engines. Looking at the T3 I'd have to do some oil return fabrication. Any chance the K24 is a direct hookup? Can't get a good look where they are sitting. If it will work better I'll pull another engine out to get the K24.

Going with the T3... forgot there's a little modifying required on the intake manifold. There's a boss with a bolt hole in it that's in the way. Not sure what it's there for, I don't need it. Still need to figure out the drain.

id keep the k14...

Thought hard about doing that.... K14 is tired and needs a reseal at least. Engine just came out of a mark 2 jetta (replaced with another one with 0 miles on a refresh) that has a K14. Always wanted to try a T3 on this engine, and it's going in a lighter car with slightly lower gears so spooling shouldn't be an issue. Had 2 T3's on the shelf...

Pull and disassemble the head and give it a good porting.
If it is like my heads and KKK 24's, turbo lag will be a non-existent issue. End of story.
For the life of me, I can't imagine running any of these sans a good port. Running a standard port head is like running a foot race carrying a large brick.

Maybe this winter Right now I need to get eh car in one piece for the rest of the summer. Autocross....

Got the oil drain figured out. Screwed the return line out of the K14. Unbolted the return line from the T3. Fabricating a small plate to bolt on the T3 and threading the K14 return line into it. Might have to clock the turbo a little for the return line to clear the exhaust manifold heat shield.

if you have the drain that bolts to the k24/t3 you can just cut the crimp off and combine with the aaz lower drain via an oil rated hose like i did
