Looking for some older parts. I have a 2000 Jetta (TDI). Just swapped out turbos, and I stayed stock with the VNT 15 (thanks Andy). While doing the swap, a few surprises awaited. First, the bolt that goes into the block (the bottom one) on the turbo support bracket. There wasn't one. I'm guessing its no more than 1.5" long, because I had a 3" bolt from IDparts' bracket kit, and it was too long.
Any ideas where to find the bolt? Can I get away with a hardware store replacement?
The lower intercooler that runs to the bottom of the turbo has some plastic studs and I assume, a plastic nut that holds the intercooler to the body. The stud was still there, the plastic bolt, gone.
Any ideas on the plastic nuts? Idparts doesn't have em, neither does Dennis (metalman)... My last resort is hitting up the dealer.
