This hybrid turbo is the best of both worlds. The plug and play manifold of a VNT-17, the responsiveness of a smaller turbo, and the improved air flow of a VNT-22.

The 17/22 uses the VNT-17 exhaust, manifold, and actuator, and the compressor from the VNT-22. This provides faster spooling than a stock 17, and far better low-RPM torque than a larger turbo. This turbo can easily run boost up to 26 PSI.

This is a high performance turbo intended to be used in TDIs that have, at minimum, upgraded nozzles, exhaust, and tuning. Ideally, it should be combined with a higher pressure injection pump and improved charge air cooling (intercooler).

These hybrids are assembled from all new parts from one of Garrett's largest distributors/service centers. They are balanced and tested, and come with a full warranty against manufacturing defects.

This turbo will bolt right up to the manifold and exhaust, requiring only minor heat shield changes (can be done by hand during installation). Price includes assembly gaskets, washers, and nuts. The stock intercooler hose can be stretched over the turbo's comnpressor exit, but this should be fitted to the turbo before installing the turbo in the car.
