Where is the turbo located in a stock 2002 VW GTI?

I am going to be installing a manual boost control and I need to know where the turbo is located. I have not looked for it yet because I thought that this might be easier.Where is the turbo located in a stock 2002 VW GTI?If you don't even know where your turbo is located, I would not suggest trying to install a manual boost controller. Some how I think you lack the responsibility to use it properly.



A MBC will give you the instant opportunity to blow up your motor. I would suggest having a professional install it and set your boost level.



On the GTI your turbo is between the motor and the firewall, under the exhaust manifold and slightly to the drivers side.



you do know that the MBC is going to attach to the wastegate though, not the turbo itself.

The turbo is located at the back of the engine, driver's side, in-line with the exhaust manifold. You realize the boost controller goes on the wastegate and not on the turbo... Good-luck, you'll need it. The proper questionwould have been: where's the wastegate? If you have to ask that, you have no business installing an MBC.Where is the turbo located in a stock 2002 VW GTI?
