Thanks for the info, and also an update: I am having good results with restoring my wastegate valve seal!  ( I will be including detailed instructions with my K24 turbocharger rebuild kit. )

restored:


FYI: 4corners never even replied to my e-mail (sounds like it figures!)

I promise those who go with my turbo rebuild kits will not be disappointed... with my price, service or quality!

Malone wanted to see pics of the kkk 24 on 98 tdi i did...going to be swapping this into my new setup 95 glx wagon..and gonna get to try out one of jakes turbo kits some time in the near future.


Thanks

thanks jake!
     I didn't want to mess too much with your thread. Yeah with the power plus .216 nozzles and the upsolute chip it spools and hits 25 plus psi, fast but then it freaks the stock n75 valve and computer out. So I just am going to pull this setup off my sisters and put stock back on  for her. But of course I'm going to use this setup on my own engine  hehehe and I'll figure out how to control the boost different way.  It pulls strong and sounds nice. The intake was a stock A3 tdi intake cut egr off and a lot of grinding to allow compressor to fit.
Thanks

thanks

We call that a Mass Airflow Sensor or sometimes MAF... I think there are technically different names for the hot wire and the flapper door style.

oh yeah i always called that a maf...anyhow it wason my sister ride a electronic 98 tdi ..but soon to be on a 95 passat glx electronic also so all the electronic gizmos like the mfa and cruise work etc..my mechanical stuff is on a different car.
thanks

I think I've finally figured out the A/R ratio for this turbo, and it's .3.  This comes from the KKK catalog.  I also heard that the A/R for KKK turbos are sometimes cast inside the turbine inlet.  Well I took a look at mine, and sure enough, was able to locate a "3" right there!
