95 Turbo question....

[95strandedDSmR]

Okay i got a stock 95 tsi turbo on my automatic car. The hotside that bolts to the manifold is cracked/ broken where the manifold bolts bolt in not allowing me to torque it down properly. I have an extra turbo from a 95 tsi that was a 5 speed. I know the turbos are different...but can i swap the hotsides with no problems? I would swap the whole turbo but the seals and bearings are wasted on the 5speeds turbo. I just want to know if I can swap them no problem or would it be a waste of my time. I just need something working to get it up an running for now till i can afford a new turbo an what not.

If they are both stock i would think you would be ok swapping the hot sides.. good luck

+1. I maxed the t25 out at 15 lbs. The 14b has spiked to 18 lbs and I've TRIED to stay out of boost since it's been installed.
