Nah, you're alright mate, I understood you perfectly, was just in a shite mood earlier.
I'm not really gonna scrap it, worst comes to worst ill sell it for spares.
The turbo is the same on all 130 tdi vags (but not all vags use the same manifold) and the 150 one fits too. I think the problem I'm having is that the engines are sold with the turbo attached, so very few seoerate turbos about. There are now a few direct replacement turbos on ebay (so not really big enough to take the map) but I think that's all I can afford really....just gotta hope they work. After that the car will get sold, I can barely afford to sort the turbo so certainly can't sort the dmf too.
It's a shame not to finish the project but end of the day it comes down to money, or lack of it, as with everything.
I wouldn't say it was a complete waste though, I've learned a hell of a lot from it and it did well as ny college project.
