I'm scrapping my Passat Wagon (bad auto) and wanted to salvage what I could to sell or use on my 2000 Jetta. Although VNT-17 is available for both BHW and ALH, it looks like it has integral exhaust manifold on ALH but separate manifold on BHW. Will the BHW assembly fit on the ALH or different geometry?

Isn't it common for guys using the alh im longitudinal swaps to use the BHW manifold and turbo to give more clearances under the turbo? Samurai, tracker and yota applications?

Thanks for the reference thread!

No problem. I spent a lot of time in boat threads where guys used the 1.6 marine manifold on the 1.9. A few members here have TDI powered boats which brought me here. I just wished these motors had intake and manifold on separate sides of the head. Would make a water jacketed manifold much easier to fab.
