Hi, I've decided to go ahead with a turbo conversion. I've found a bloke who is willing to sell a turbo with manifold and the oil filter housing for £75. Does this sound reasonable? He doesn't have the injection pump anymore ( I know I need it). All the bits are from an N reg VW Passat.

Price is reasonable. But if you are near me could(ve)do(ne) better for turbo and manifold. No longer got any oil filter housings but have a made up downpipe that joined a 1z t15 turbo to under the gearbox. Depends on distance whether its any use to you but its free.

What you need to make it run is a manual turbo pump if its staying an aef. aaz, jx, jr, 1v or any gtd pump will work, also a landrover discovery will work and fit the aef bracket, but abit over the top.

Also consider the std diesel clutch will just about hold 90bhp from a diesel although the less torquey petrol is contained by the smaller petrol clutch at 125bhp.

Oh and a modified aaz inlet manifold is the best way to close the bonnet.

I've pm'ed you Rolo
