OM606 Turbo Selection for Truck application
OM606 Turbo Selection for Truck application
V = basically that its a variable geometry turbo
K = electric actuator
L = water cooled center housing
R = ball bearing.
a "VKLR" would be cool, but I certainly do no need the ball bearing aspect OR the extra water cooling complications (not to say I wouldn't do it). I'm mainly interested in which options I can easily source off ebay <1000$ used and which can be modified within reason to fit (I can cut and weld, but i'd rather not have to add another 200$ in adapter plates to get something to bolt up)
What i'm unsure of is
1. which model cars to look for these from,
2. which housings are easiest to modify/fabricate to an om606 stock manifold mount as well as exhaust pipe
3. which cars came with actuators the DSL1 can communicate with
4. Are there any combinations to stay away from
thanks for the help!

What i've found is there are an enormous amount of variations with these as well as how they are listed on ebay, v, vzk, vk, vklr. Stealing from a vw forum i've deduced
