Garrett VNT-17 Turbocharger (A4 ALH)

OE Part Number: GT1749VB
Manufacturer’s Part Number: 7210215006

Factory fresh VNT-17 turbos from Garrett. These are the OEM turbo on the European 150hp 1.9L TDI equipped Volkswagens. The VNT-17 is an upgrade from the original VNT-15 turbo allowing you to run higher boost levels and, many believe, providing superior durability. The VNT-17 bolts directly up to the head, but requires an adapter for the compressor output to match up with the stock inter-cooler pipes.

Price includes installation hardware (gaskets, washers, nuts). There is no core charge required on this turbo.

Garrett VNT-17 Turbocharger (A4 BEW)

Manufacturer’s Part Number: 1700250440

Factory fresh VNT-17 turbos from Garrett made for the PD engine in A4 cars (engine code BEW). The VNT-17 is a significant upgrade from the original Borg-Warner KP-39 turbo, allowing you to run higher boost levels and, many believe, providing superior durability. This turbo was original equipment on the PD150 Jetta and Golf in Europe. The VNT-17 bolts up exactly like the stock turbo, fits the stock exhaust flange, and does not require an adapter pipe to the intercooler. Installing this turbo requires modifying your EGR cooler pipe or deleting the EGR cooler. We offer a block-off plate and new coolant hose to delete the cooler.

The turbo comes with complete installation hardware, and there is no core charge required on this turbo.
