Found a factory triple K turbo with 160K miles on it with no play and guy is asking $50 for it. Complete with manifold actuator etc. How much trouble is it to convert to fit an ALH engine? Just curious since thats pretty cheap. Thanks

you'll need the BEW turbo> pancake pipe lower boost hose or an adapter but the KP39 is an inferior turbo to the vnt15 that came on your car .... i would only consider it as a desperate last option

Ok that pretty much answers that for me. Just curious really since it was cheap.
