So i found a new APU engine that came off a 1999 Passat
engine comes without turbo, alternator,p/s, a/c, starter
wondering how much approximently will it weigh as the guy wont ship it I have to send a courier to pick it up

any suggestions on a reliable/cheap couriers?

here is the engine that I am buying for 150
VW PASSAT AUDI A4 1.8T 20V TURBO ENGINE APU 84000 MILES on eBay (end time 25-Jun-11 08:10:07 BST)

Thats cheap, iirc it will be a pallet collection you need, will cost you around £75-£90 up to half a tonne or something, basic block has to be in the region of 120 kg ish

yea price is not bad

now I have to look into rebuilding my turbo
where would I be able to find parts for it ?
or if anyone has a turbo for about 100 i might consider it

I will have one but it won't be till middle of next month as the Frankenturbo is getting ordered on the 28th but don't no what the delivery time is and then a date to fit it, can't wait also the hot side (turbine housing) needs replacing as the wastegate penny valve is ready for falling off.

Rebuilding a turbo is a pecision and expensive process... the shaft has to be balanced for one. But if its run devoid of oil, the turbo will probably be little use as an oily paperweight. The one bradderz has would do you, then you just take the hotside off yours and swap them.

but i'll PM you later on, may know where there is one cheap.

The guy i had in mind doesn't have it anymore unfortunately...

Try:

Or

audi a4 1.8t 5 valve turbo | eBay UK

May be good ones to consider.
