Would this turbo fit my gti??
« on: March 02, 2013, 09:05:58 pm »
Hey,

I need a new turbo unit for my golf gti mk5 2005 engine code axx.

I have found one on eBay from the same car but 2007 model. Would this turbo fit my 2005 gti?

Thanks

Craigh

Yes it should as both have the same turbo.
Without traction power is nothing!

Excellent :) thanks for that mate.

Mine has a huge crack in it although it's not failing yet.

Pictures on the listing show a tdi turbo.  Deffo not a petrol gti turbo.

Petrols came with a borg warner turbo.  Not a garrett.
