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 compressor.

The 17/22 uses the VNT-17 exhaust, manifold 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 version of the hybrid includes the PD actuator with electronic feedback.

This is a high performance turbo intended to be used in TDIs that have at minimum, upgraded exhaust, and tuning. It can be combined with larger injectors 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.

Price includes assembly gaskets, washers, and nuts. This turbo will bolt right up to the manifold and exhaust, requiring only minor heat shield changes (can be done by hand during installation). If you have stock intercooler piping this turbo requires a new compressor exit hose from the A4 ALH engine, shown below.

If you have a stock intake from the airbox you'll have to replace the reducing turbo inlet hose with a piece of straight hose. We stock intercooler hose that fits perfectly, also shown below.
