- 98 Jetta TDI AHU 1.9L (944 TDI swap in progress) I moved so now i got nothing but an AHU in a garage on a pallet.
Had a runaway. Cause, too may hard pulls exceeding 1600*F. before the turno had NO play GT2052wg. Now there is a bit of play. I limped it home by taking the IC pipe off where i could on the side of the raod after getting it stalled out in 4th. Pumped about 1 quart out of the crank over about 1 mile of idle rpm to get it home. I aint paying no tow home seeing as i was this close.
This turbo has about 20K miles on it. Checked compression, and a leak down test. everyting checks out. turbo is screwed.
Maybe ill get a new turbo or have this one rebuilt.
Some of you know already i plan on doing a engine build 400+ with NOS and W/M and plan on doing a swap with it into a 88' porsche 944. Maybe that will happen a bit sooner than i planed!
Anyone got recommendations as to who would rebuild this 2052 for me? Maybe ill just upgrade to another turbo with a proper manifold! Who know, but check out this carnage.
