I'm installing a GT1749VB on a 1Z block for my Eurovan conversion. I understand that I need a support bracket on the bottom of the turbo, but I'm having a hard time determining which bracket it actually is.

I think 028145535B is for the GT15 on an AFN manifold, which is not what I have.

Will 038145535E work on the 1Z/AHU block?

Just trying avoid another issue like the ALH/BEW oil return lines being slightly different (for posterity, go with the BEW line).

96 Passat B4V, ALH engine out of a 2002 Jetta, some IE Rods and ASV Pistons. Nothing drivable yet though
There are some out there, havent seen one in a while. Look into the exhaust manifold from an AFN or BHW engine. Although I am not sure how that would work in a vanagon.

Well, it's not a Vanagon and the turbo has the manifold cast into the hot side. Either way I am just looking for the bracket that holds the bottom of the turbo to the block.

Since the GT15 turbos didn't come with any additional brackets can I assume that nothing more is needed for the VNT-17?
