What is the stock turbo in a 98 beetle TDI?
Hey, it's me again!
Now, my girlfriend has a 98 Beetle TDI, and apparently, the internal wastegate is seized open, so it's making about this close --><-- to no power whatsoever. So, if I'm looking for a replacement turbo on ebay, what am I looking for? (basically, we're looking to get it back up and running for cheap, since she's looking to sell it -- she bought an `07 CX-7) Mr^Man |

Is it a Garrett VNT-15? Mr^Man |

Just weld the flapper shut and see what happens. >:D

Re: What is the stock turbo in a 98 beetle TDI?
I could be wrong, but I think 98 beetle TDI turbos have the turbine housing cast to the manifold like an SRT4.
If you think the flapper is stuck just fix it. Why replace the turbo? Not seeing your thought process here. :1 |

Mine did the same thing, I soaked it with PB blast over night and hit it lightly with a bar...
free'd up , been fine for 40,000 miles. don't spend money needlessly. |

Re: What is the stock turbo in a 98 beetle TDI?
A few things:
1) Yes it is a GT15, but in a 98 it might still be wastegated. 2) It will be all cast as one unit on the hot side (mani and hot side of turbo that is) 3) If it is a variable vain turbo, 99% chance that as mentioned the vanes have just become stuck and just need to be soaked and cleaned and it will be fine. 4) Chen the intake mani as it is probably just about closed up from the egr, by this point. 5) and most important PICS for help. |

Re: What is the stock turbo in a 98 beetle TDI?
They are a VNT15, its not wastegated. Yes the manifold and turbine housing is cast as one piece. The vanes are most likely stuck due to carbon buildup and just need cleaned.

The Canadian 98 Civic Si is the same as the American 98 EX.
As for the pics, if you're in the bad in need of a fix, you just need to google "titties", and in 5 minutes you'll be fine again... :6 You're not getting pics of my girlfriend. :D Mr^Man |
