can I put the manifold from an early VNT15 on a later model stamped GT1749V? I think my earlier one is just marked VNT15, came off a 1999.5 Jetta. I took the original turbo apart when I got it and got the vanes all freed up. Then, I found a GT1749V in the junkyard. cleaned that up, and replaced the original turbo. But, the little vane actuator finger inside the turbo is worn down some and creates some play in the GT1749V.
So is the geometry of the turbos the same on the manifold side, or not? can I make one better turbo out of these two? Or should I just live with the worn out vane finger?
