VAG turbo wont fit

C00PRA · Jan 28, 2009

hi i am wondering if any one has had this problem?
i have recently recieved a turbo from Turbo dynamics a VAG stage 1 pd150. i was told by tem that this would fit straight in to my mrk 4 cupra tdi with no problems.

the mechanic fitting it has just rang me and advised that the restrictor pipe wont fit and other pipes will not line up.

i told TD that i had no other mods and they said no problem?

has any one got any advise because it seems i am throwing money in a hole

i would grately appriate any help as this is becoming a nightmare

Sounds like all they have to do is clock the turbo into the right position. Is it a tuning shop or just a regular garage fitting the turbo?

C00PRA · Jan 28, 2009

its a regular garage for mercades,

shall i get TD to ring him and speak to him do you think?

Clocking the turbo is simple. Just realise some bolt turn the turbo to correct postion and tightern bolts. If they cannot do a simple clocking turbo job then as you suggest get then to phone TD.

i will just ask them to ring himas i am sure he would of tried everything, cheers mate

i herd that this should fit straight in off a few people on this site so i hope it is the wrong part. or it clocks into place

Is this basicly the rotation of the turbos housings ? because i think i will be ordering another turbo soon and have been told that the orientation is different with it being designed to work on VW's ?
So if i ordered this turbo would i then have to change the orientation or get some different pipewrok ?

Yes clocking is rotation of the turbos housings. As to the turbo you are thinking about buying without part/model numbers of the turbo and engine the turbo is from and going to i cannot help you.
