    Did I ever mention I put a VNT on my 1300 golf in 1999?

    Re: vnt turbos

    I have been looking @ gt2256 turbos but I am attempting to find a suitable exhaust housing to use that will bolt straight to the gtt manifold. Any ideas ?

    Wish I never sold my old engine and VNT

    C.r turbos do a .49 rear housing for gtt fitment, I dont know if this would be any good for you

    The gt2256 is a vnt, the .49 rear housing will be to small for a vnt I am looking at vw passat 3.0 v6 tdi vnt's as the exhaust housings are t2 flanged

    Eugene and I tested them on the 5 1st I think way back in 2003 , PITA to setup right but worked quite well, but I would personall stick with a T28/t25 sized unit or a GT25r
