Ok guys work with me,here is the deal a friend bought a 97 tsi,with a busted turbo.and a low budget.Now hes selling it but again its not safe to even start the thing due to the blades are completely on the walls.All in all will a 1g 4g63na exhaust mani bolt up to a 2g 4g63?The idea is we want it non boosted.not a new turbo.
 
Car will run just fine without it, won't hurt anything, the ecu won't know the difference etc etc it just obviously won't get past 0 psi. It would be exactly the same as never getting into boost; I'm not sure where the re-occurring idea that the car won't run or will damage something without a turbo hooked up.

But, it would be a giant PITA to get the exhaust manifold mate to the turbo dowpipe, block off the feed and return lines, and loop the coolant lines compared to just swapping to another t25.
 
There is more to it than just bolting on a manifold. As stated you will have to block off the oil supply, the oil drain, the coolant lines, and adapt the downpipe to the manifold. One BIG thing that you are forgetting about is hooking the maf sensor up to the throttle body. You will need some sort or intake pipe to do that. You are looking at 80-100 bucks easily to get it all done, only to have to turn around and buy a turbo down the road.
