Help: ASZ turbo does not fit my ASZ engine?

[VW_UK]

Ok, a bit confused. I've read a number of times that a ASZ 130 tdi turbo would fit to an Ibiza/ golf/ A3 however I have bought one recently but seems to have a different outlet position to the one that's been removed:

One removed: notice the outlet (where turbo pipe fits) top left



ASZ replacement: outlet top right



Can someone enlighten me please? Is one of them not an ASZ or there different types?

Can you not just undo the bolts and rotate it??

Ok silly question, but would it be as simple as that?

Would I need to change any gaskets etc?

no you won't need to change gaskets to do it. As Rio says it look like the compressor housing has been rotated for some reason

Had a quick look and not sure which bolts to remove to rotate it...?

[Wazzzer]

get some pics of the back of the compressor housing and I'll see if I can point them out

If you have a look at the back of the compressor side you'll see 6 bolt with large washers on them, loosen these and you should be able to gently turn the compressor into the correct position, then tighten them back up of course!

Not the greatest pic I know but only one I have on my phone.

Bolts on left or right in the pic?

[beppe2672]

if all the oil lines and stuff line up ok just the bolts on the right.

Yes they seem to line up all ok. Will double check again but this was the only difference I noticed.
