Title: What k14 am I looking for?
Post by: bugnut on April 21, 2008, 06:09:18 pm

What k14 turbo should I be looking for.  I am rebuilding a stock 1.6td.   This will go into my 80 rabbit and just used as a daily driver.  No racing and no mods done to the engine.  I heard the 1.9 k14 turbo is different than the 1.6 version.  Should I just stick with the 1.6 since I am going to be all stock?  And if so what turbo part number should I be looking at

Thanks Brian

this one is off of a 1.6TD eco-diesel
I THINK I read that it has the smaller impeller, but I don't know for sure

AAZ compressor is 5cm across the bottom, 3.48cm at the top of the blades.

So I am now looking for these turbos.  068145704d or the 028145703e.  It all depends on if I want the larger compressor wheel or not.

Ok dumb question #49 (in an open ended sequence...)

I'm still getting up the curve on everything TD - what difference does a larger compressor wheel make?
