PD170 turbo on 1Z

[garciapiano]

I’d like to put the PD170 turbo (from a BRD engine), Borg Warner # 53039900109, on my 1Z and I’m having trouble determining the proper turbo drain line. I plan to mount it using a BHW or AFN exhaust manifold and run more or less stock intercooler pipes to it. Trying to stick with as much OEM stuff as I can for now just to get it running, although the down pipe will need to be custom.

Will the BHW oil drain line work? I plan to use a braided line for the feed.

If it's a Passat B5, then the stock oil drain should be fine, also all other connections.

Yep, plug and play with stock hardware…

Won't that turbo hit the motor mount on your MK3?

Supposedly the AFN and BHW manifolds position the turbo in the right place.

You can use AFN/AVG/AHH/AWX and AVF exhaust manifolds to fit the turbo plug and play on longitudinal platform…

Just the VNT-15 that hits the rear motor mount on a MK3/MK2?

From what I understand it’s the ones with the integrated manifold that hit. Slightly different turbo positioning.

I am trying to figure out which turbo support bracket I need…

The bv43 mounts without support bracket, you can get something fabricated but it’s not necessary- will see how it fares in the long run !

I'm pretty sure the bv43 requires a support bracket. I'm using one on mine as there is tab specifically for the bracket. Also the BHW uses a bracket.

If running an afn or bhw manifold you need this bracket.
