TDI turbo replacement help

[Sidhu88]

Hello!

My turbo is on its way out and I already have a replacement, however the replacement unit was a used part off another car which I purchased about 3 years ago and never used. Its since been in storage in a box, with the air inlet and exhaust outlet sealed.

My question is whether this is safe to just use? Or should I be doing anything with this prior to putting it on the car.

For info - Garrett GT1749VC - PD170 - BMN engine code

It will be fine to use. Just make sure that when you first come to start the car that you disable the injection system some how so you can turn the engine over and get some oil into the bearing. I used to pull the large round injector plug off the cylinder head on my Passat so the injectors don't work.
Then just turn it over for 30 seconds or so to make sure that oil has found it's way into the CHRA.
