What It Is
A retrofit kit needed to replace the turbo on early ALH-engined cars manufactured before mid-2001. Their turbo support bracket and oil feed line aren't compatible with the mounting and oil return system used on newer VNT-15, VNT-17, and S7 turbos, so this kit bridges that gap.
What's Included
How to Know If You Need This
If your turbo bracket is already oriented in the newer-style position, you don't need this kit. If it's in the earlier orientation, this kit is required to successfully install a newer turbo on your early ALH.
Fitment
Early ALH-engined Mk4 Golf, Jetta, and New Beetle, manufactured before mid-2001.
Common Questions
How do I know if my car needs this kit?
Check your turbo bracket's orientation. If it's already positioned like the newer-style setup, you don't need this kit. If it's in the earlier configuration, you'll need it to install a VNT-15, VNT-17, or S7 turbo.
Does this kit include the turbo itself?
No, this is the support bracket and oil return hardware only, needed alongside your turbo purchase, not a replacement for it.
Why can't I just install a newer turbo without this kit?
The mounting and oil return design changed after mid-2001, so early cars need this updated hardware for the newer turbo to bolt up and function correctly.
