When good turbos go bad...

So what's "cheap"?  :D

I'll keep my eyes peeled.  Would you consider a 20?  Those are all the rage at the TDIclub nowadays.  I've seen a handful of them go for cheaper than a good used vnt-15.

Oh there was never a doubt that the VNT15 was too small for my engine
in its current state of tune.   I was fully prepared for the
possibility of grenading one, however I was surprised that it took
this long for it to happen.  Until a VNT17 lands on my lap cheap, I'll
be "downgrading" to a GT18, which will still be an upgrade over the
K03 I was choking before.

Haven't got that far yet...
