OK so im looking for a new turbo and i need it to be a pretty simple affair to put in. upon my searches i came across this "bolt in ct26 turbo". It clearly says that the factory oil and water lines fit perfectly but in the side by side picture you can see that one is different from each other. so here is my question am i looking at something wrong here? will this really fit with no modification?
question about this turbo
- Thread starter mk3sons
- Start date
The center cartridge appears to be rotated. You would need to take the housings off (compressor & turbine) and remove the pins. After removing the pins, you would need to make sure the oil drain / feed is on the bottom.
Full thread on this.

My bad. Though the one you show if nothing but a stock turbo (supposedly "new", but I doubt it). In that case you could just buy a used one. The T61 appears to be a good upgrade though.
I think these are brand new. A coworker bought at turbo from these guys for his Passat and it was brand new made in China. Whether it actually performs and has the reliability of the OEM turbo is another matter...
But why in the world would you pay that much for a brand new stock CT26? You could pay probably less and get one that fits the same but has larger internals. Like the upgraded CT26 my buddy got and it gave him a little extra on the pull department!

me? i am not looking for the cheapest i am looking for the option that would provide me with the least amount of down time because i have no other vehicle to get to work or school. i don't know what the problem is it says there high speed tested and they actually have good reviews.
driftmotion can normally whip up a rebuilt ct26 within a week and have it shipped out. Its 510 for the rebuild or 650 for a new rebuilt ct26 (50,54?,57 trim) sizes available.
