If you look at the engine code and it's a BWA or AXX, then yes it is. The engine code is on the right hand side of the engine, on the valve cover. :happy2:

Might want to check if it's from a mk4 then, as both the mk4 and mk5 Golfs use a K03 turbo but I really don't know what's different about them. The inlets and oil feeds will naturally be different but whether the turbo itself is the same remains unknown to me.

Not that that's really any help to you, but hey! I try... :happy2:
