I picked up a b4 passat a couple years ago in fort Collins for the engine. When I pulled it I noticed it had a strange looking turbo. There wasn't a whole lot of markings on it, but it said super 17. I called kerma at the time and the only info I got was "run 24 lbs." I didn't want to bother them anymore at the time and left it at that.
So I have a few questions.
A little use of the search button seems to indicate that possibly only a few dozen of these turbos were made?
Also it seems that it was comparable to a k03/04 hybrid?
It looks like there were some longevity problems with some turbos from this builder?
Is this sucker safe to run?
How much fuel can this turbo handle? (I don't care about smoke it's a lifted mk2 golf mostly driven off road)
The turbo seems to have seen little use. Basically no shaft play, car had only 111k on it and had upgraded injectors/turbo but no tuning.(or title ) The turbo seemed responsive in b4 but didn't have a Gauge at the time. I'm just curious as to how this turbo compares to vnt 15, vnt 17 va from bhw, or mk2 k14, as that's what I have on shelf right now...
