Anyone proactively replace a turbo NOT as an upgrade? I have a 193k mile 2005 Jetta BEW auto with the original KP39 turbo. Still boosts fine and the engine as a whole uses about 1qt every 8k miles. I'm wondering if I should replace with a VNT17 just as a proactive measure so I don't have a catastrophic event down the line. Car is in good shape, rusted rockers near fender and rusted rear quarter where bumper meets.
Thoughts?
