wtb stock turbo for passat

[hotroddz]

I need a stock trubo for my 1998 passat. I don't have a lot to spend, but I'm sure some one has one just laying around taking up space.

I dont have one lying around, but I can get one. How much do you want to spend? Do you have a manifold or do you need one? How about injectors?

[hotroddz]

Nope all I need is the turbo,I'm hoping to find one for $150 to $175. I can get mine rebuilt for $300.

I can see what I can do if ya want. I wonder what shipping would be from michigan to washington?

If you have the chance I need to make sure the seals in the turbo don't leak. They're kind of known for that. Mine is leaking oil in to my intercooler.
Funny enough the car still runs great with no turbo boost at all.

Thanks-

How do I check them? It isnt my turbo and I have never checked the seals b4.

If it's off the car you can't really it must to be under pressure. If you take a light and shine it in to the inlet and out let of both sides (intake and exhaust) you should not see any oil residue. Also check for play in the bearings make sure the turbine does not have any free play(side-to-side or up-and-down).
