Wanted: Hot side RS2 turbo

[Nero]

I have a cracked RS2 turbo, which can't be mounted like this.

I need this turbo for a while, until my partslist is complete for the bigger KKK turbo that I already own.

Maybe welding is a option, but I prefer another hotside.

Has someone a hotside laying around?

Shipping must be to Holland, payment paypal or bank.

Got one in a similar condition, has a good cold side

Got some hybrid id consider parting with, but i dont think its inter changeable with an RS2.

I took a look at what I have, and it appears to be exactly the same size and dimension as another K26 hot side I have... different part number though (it is KKK). - I presume the RS2 would be obviously larger no?

The number on the turbo can depend, was the turbo OEM fitted by Audi, or was it an aftermarket sale.

Maybe you can post or PM the number.

Thankx!

I have some news and some bad news, the news is just a few measurements I took; this hotside is definitely larger than the K26, the center section diameter is 69mm and the outlet side is 57mm. Both of these are a few mm larger than the K26. The bad news is that there is a 1 cm crack in the (apparently) typical location. It does not pass all the way through the casting, but without some repair I don't imagine this will last long.
I have a buddy who welds iron for a living, if you want I can try to get a good price on a repair (if this is indeed an RS2). He doesn't generally do 'cheap' or discounted jobs, but I go to him because of his excellent craftsmanship.
I'll attach some photo's tomorrow; my camera battery died on me so I can't do it just now.

A few shots with the numbers



Here's the crack, it's just above the bolt hole, it extends up and then left a small amount

Thanks mate. I will compare the numbers from your and mine hotside.
