Help: ASZ turbo does not fit my ASZ engine?

[JimBR]

Not a turbo off a Passat/A4/A6 is it?

[VW_UK]

It may be, although was told its off a golf

What difference does that make?

[JimBR]

The engines are longitudnal not transverse, which may explain the difference in orientation.

[VW_UK]

Ok, unfortunately another dilemma - had a closer look at the manifold and the bits highlight are in different positions. Does this mean it won't fit (even after being able to turn the turbo to the correct position)?

Red is replacement, blue is the one removed from the Ibiza

Y not swap the manifolds over surely that would work

[VW_UK]

Been told the pipe that connects to it is flexible so should flex to fit. Failing that I will do an EGR blank. £3 or £4 off eBay and better for the engine too.

[JimBR]

Id do the egr blank personally. Id imagine it would need mapping out though?

[EsSeX dAn]

depends what one it is. seeme the earlier ones are ok withit whereas the later ones tend to have a bit of a fit

[VW_UK]

Why would they need mapping out?

On later cars it throws up the engine management light and in extreme cases, limp mode.
