Hi there , I have a 1999 passat with a AEB engine , the turbo has gone and needs replacing .
i have been offered a "KO3" turbo and am told it will fit 1.8 T 20v engines , so 2 questions really : will this just bolt on ? I don't really want to start modifying everything to make it fit and is this an upgraded turbo or just a similar replacement turbo.

Thanks.

If it's off a longitudinal engine then it will fit, if from transverse then it won't ! Why don't you rebuild yours and have a turbo "as new" instead of going for a used part with un-known history ?

Hi I'll ask the guy selling it what engine it came from , the reason I'm buying it is that it's dirt cheap ( cheaper than me reconing mine )and it's brand new
