The 200k turbo came off my Jetta when I switched to a 17/22. Looking at it now I’d say I switched it at the right time, since there is some shaft play. If you’re looking for a core this would be a good one as the actuator was replaced not that long before the swap was made. The other turbo is...

I’ve got 2 VNT15 turbos on hand right now. One is on a running motor (of unknown mileage) that I’d make available for $100, and one that came off my Jetta around 200,000 mi that you can have for $40. I travel the Chicago area almost daily, so meeting somewhere shouldn’t be a problem. Let me...

Hi Kirk, I think i’ll Be heading up your way as well, though I can’t stay as long as i’d like. May bring a head along for Frank if he’s there, and I need a remote programmed. Looking forward to seeing the “ole stomping grounds” again - even if my college in Cedar Springs is gone!

I sent you a PM regarding some interest in this and a question. Thanks!

Interested and have a question - PMd you.
