Cool that you figured that one out. I bought the same style of turbo/manifold last year for my Ranger CR TDI build. The stock US turbo has the exhaust facing the front of the engine, and the turbine/manifold are a single casting. Asked around for ideas on TDI club, guys were telling me to buy a Malone or similar kit which would set me back nearly 4K. Figured they would have used the same engine on some EU RWD Audi applications, and they did. Think I paid C$400 on ebay for the turbo and manifold to my door.
Ordered the fitting. Will order manifold after I figure out why wise is in a un ending loading session for my card. Then need turbo and the other stuff. I assume for an Alh if I use a adapter plate like you did I need a exhaust gasket meant for this turbo or car it came off. Then weld plate to my exhaust down pipe with appropriate holes drilled in it for studs on turbo. Stock manifold to engine gasket will work between the BHW manifold and engine
Good morning buddy how are ya? Oh this is a great option. Thank you for sharing this, I want low end torque so this maybe the ticket for a BHW/c5 swap. Are your still doing wiring harness’s?
Got a good question, What kind of software computer stuff does a person need to set anything on this engine, or do you need it at all, had asked on another video, I’m still schooling Thanks man
There are a lot of tuning options actually but most of the good ones are $500-1500. There is some free stuff but it usually gets downloaded with a bunch of viruses lol. But just Google EDC15 and 16 tuning software to see. Vcds is also needed, and even more stuff for immobilizer defeating.
@@TDISwaps now I also seen where you can send the brain box off to someone , there were a couple individuals that people speak highly of , that program the unit, ecu or ecm can’t never get that right, but supposedly they program the thing for you, looked like a couple hundred bucks, have you heard of that, supposedly it’s tuning, Still schooling
@@TDISwaps well, thank you for your time again, still schooling, trying to get my brain wrapped around all of this, watching a lot of videos, timing belt video, head removal, just all sorts of things about it, and keeping my eye out for better deals than jdm, hope all is well with you, talk to you soon I am sure
I'm definitely torn about doing compounds, we will see how this turbo works first. But being my wife's daily I'm not really wanting to make it anymore prone to issues than necessary haha
@stephenhilton4665 ya the problem is this turbo will have 0 lag, and backing off the top end power would keep from maxing out this turbo and that's all the wife needs. I get how much better a compound setup would be, don't get me wrong.
@@TDISwaps it's a CHEAP add on, but theres a reason why racers wrap pipes. Keeps the heat where it needs to be, fewer losses to keep the heat / pressure up in the short distance its traveling. Engine bay will be cooler too, less thermal cycling delta on the turbo but thats debatable. Still, I have my ALH manifolds totally insulated in the engine bay and it IS cooler opening the hood after running.
Well part of the reason I've never done it is the turbo is so small I've had a hard time finding anything small enough to fit it. But my engine bay is so huge there's very little heat kept inside to start with
@@TDISwaps idk why im just now getting notifications on this, but the blanket isn't to cool the engine bay, but to keep the heat in the pipes. More heat = hotter air = more flow as the air is thinner. More speed on the hot side = more pumping on the cold side.

Yup they go clear down to $200 if you watch for them, freaking sweat deal!
Oh and thank you for sharing your vacation trip with us
No problem man!

You got it! I actually don't even have a gasket between manifold/turbo and turbo/downpipe flange, they seal well
@@TDISwaps okay cool
Sweet little upgrade. Good info. I really like my Tdi Ranger so far. Maybe someday I'll feel the need to upgrade the turbski on it
Only if you like breaking more stuff 😂

Are your still doing wiring harness’s?
Yes sir!
What did this turbo come off of? The modification looks simple enough.
I need to sell my CDI so I can start my build.
it would be off at 2.0 TDI from 2014

@clayton203 yup I have the stuff to do all that 😁

@clayton203 sounds good!
I would love to see a compound set up on this
I'm definitely torn about doing compounds, we will see how this turbo works first. But being my wife's daily I'm not really wanting to make it anymore prone to issues than necessary haha
@TDISwaps I'm telling a compound would stop any lag give more power. And you would have to go to the edge of the turbos power
@TDISwaps I'm trying to learn how to do this swap in my ranger I have a 2.0 tdi and a 1.9 tdi. The kit is so freaking expensive
@stephenhilton4665 ya the problem is this turbo will have 0 lag, and backing off the top end power would keep from maxing out this turbo and that's all the wife needs. I get how much better a compound setup would be, don't get me wrong.
@@TDISwaps how much power could you get realistically and still save fuel mileage
And after this upgrade where is your mpg at, just wandering
Haven't gotten it back together yet,but I do not suspect much of a change
How many hp support gtc1549vz
Should be 180-200 HP
Are you going to wrap it in fiberglass and turbo blanket?
Ive never messed with turbo blankets, maybe I'm missing something but most of what I've read showed very little benefit in the real world.

@RW1LD I'm tracking now, maybe I can make an td04 blanket work on these smaller turbos. Ya my notifications are always messed up lol
What motor mount is that?
That is the drivers side Dakota mount for a 3.9l if I recall correctly
Use a Mercedes om606 and compare
If I ever run across one I will have to, I'm so set up with TDIs right now it's hard to imagine messing with anything else
Whole other level lol.
Yeah, these Tdi are so abundant and cheap, not to mention reliable .
@AverageJoesracingteam agreed! I haven't even seen an om606 in years
I just recently bought 2 om606’s doing a Dakota as well
