[Vwdiesel] Looking for AAZ turbo & manifoldsShawn Wright swright at zuiko.sls.bc.caWed Apr 20 11:18:51 EDT 2005
Sorry to keep changing my mind about this folks, but I've decided against the Quantum manifold for my TD. Thanks to all those who offered one! My reasons are: 1. Height of turbo from ground - I understand the turbo would be much lower, which is an issue for me, as I often cross deep water, sometimes 18" or more. 2. Apparently the turbo inlet still interferes with the mount, hence the Euro intake hose which works around this but restricts flow. Also, this manifold is said not to flow as well. 3. Lowering turbo also complicates exhaust options, with less room to work in for pipes. I understand from a post by Mark Drillock some time ago that the later AAZ turbo & manifold will clear the mount. This is the KKK turbo with external wastegate rod. I don't know if this turbo & exhaust manifold can be used with my Jetta TD intake. So if anyone has a turbo & manifolds for sale fitting this description, please contact me. If I can't locate something within my time and budget, then I'll try to modify my mount - Andrew has sent me some good pics of his fairly simple and clean mod. Thanks.
