Turbo on 110 tdi

[Mcdubber1]

I have an 02 plate 110 tdi which has a suspected dodgy turbo, sticky nozzles likey as boost comes and goes.

I bought a 110 tdi A4 with the same engine code with a snapped timing belt to get a few parts off including the turbo and break the rest.

Someone said to me yesterday that the turbo's won't be compatible because in his experience on transversely ( Skoda ) mounted engines the turbo and manifold were all one piece where as on longitudinal (Audi ) mounted engines the turbo and manifold are are two separate pieces. I've had a look and both look to be the same but I'd need to remove a few bits from the Octavia to get better access to have a proper look. I thought being the same engines they'd just use the same turbo set up even though they are mounted different ways?

Can anyone confirm or deny this? The turbo on the A4 doesn't look all that old so I'm hoping they're compatible.

Cheers

Your engine code is ASV. Never fitted to Audi. Do you have part number?

Oh right. Not got the part number as I've not yet removed it.

Thanks for the info
