On my 04 sedan, I have ran a 200hp shot of nitrous on my built D17 for a few years, and nitrous is so hard to find these days, I gave up on it and finally decided to join the boosted club.

My problem is that the turbo from the kit I purchased runs into the passenger side fan and the clutch slave cylinder when mounted one direction, and hits the block the other mounting direction making it so I cant bolt up the manifold to the block.

Here is the kit I bought: (rev9power is the same as Godspeed supposedly)

When I got the ok from the wife to buy a turbo kit, my initial thought was to go with Dezod or ProCivic for my dealer, but I guess since Im late to the party, neither of them offered kits for the D17 anymore.

What am I doing wrong with the install, and what other choices do I have for a turbo kit with keeping my D17a2?

 

I sent that kit back as quickly as I could and have very very slowly been installing my TSI Extreme kit with a T28 Garrett Dual BB turbo. Maybe someday Ill finish it when I have time.

 

A lot of these require you to remove the windshield wiper fluid and/or coolant overflow reservoir to route the piping, just a heads up.

 

I may get to that point soon when Im running the intercooler piping. Thx bro.

 

Oh, you should also know that unless you get a manifold to specifically support AC, many kits assume you're removed it entirely.

 

No issues there.
