BorgWarner VNT17 turbocharger for VW TDIs with an ALH engine code. This turbo came stock on the European 140HP VW Polo and utilizes a BV39 cartridge. It provides higher boost levels over the stock VNT15 and features BorgWarner’s Extended Tip Technology. This allows greater airflow from a smaller compressor wheel (less rotating mass), thus reducing turbo lag compared to the Garrett VNT17s.

Fits the Following:
1999.5-2003 VW Golf TDI
1999.5-2003 VW Jetta TDI
1998-2003 VW New Beetle TDI

Fitment Note: An adapter is required for the compressor side to mount up with a stock ALH intercooler pipe. The 1 3/8″ adapter is for vehicles with stock (1 1/4″) intercooler piping, while the 2″ adapter is for those with upgraded intercooler and piping.

Fitment Note: Some of the compatible vehicles built in 2001 and earlier will require this Turbo Bracket for proper, secure fitment.

Warranty Details: 12-month, 12,000 mile warranty from BorgWarner against manufacturer defects.
