Has anyone purchased a new rebuild 17/49vb with the upgraded compressor wheel? Seems like a bargain and less than you can get a turbo in the US for.
Please share with us about the modified wheel for the BV43. I may be looking for this as well.I guess Fran's does not have a modified wheel for the 17/49vb. That's why no one has chimed in. Lol. He offers it for the bv43 turbo.
It, as in the entire center section - on a VSR - which Frans and a couple others can do.If you are interested in upgraded compressor wheels try looking up Xboost or Kinugawa on Ebay. Also check out this thread.

If you do go with an aftermarket compresssor wheel, make sure you get it balanced.
No, running the factory stock turbo with 250K miles on it. Any yes, I am pushing it a little hard at 20 psi. But I have a spare engine in the garage. And a couple of spare cars!Fran's told me the wheel in the 17/49vb does not need to be upgraded. No reason the reinvent the wheel. Jackson are you running the bv43 on your ride in sig?
I've had Ryan p and Fran's tell me the bv43 with the passat manifold is not pnp. I need the under hood to look factory. Does the stock alh dp bolt to the passat manifold?150 tip: fits 100%
egr: "no problem either"
-No, just a little larger on a BV, it takes about a minute or 2 with a knife to have it fit.Air hoses for vacuum actuator are diff too
