I have a 99.0 A4 1.8t that is lacking power, I think I've narrowed it
down to the turbo. I also have a 2000 Passat 1.8T right next to it in
the garage. Any issues with swapping the turbos?

What kind of power loss are you experiencing? Also, it comes to mind that
you should have your turbo VAG-COMed in case it's one of those naughty
diverter valves or Magnetventils. Then again make sure all the plumbing and
especially the turbo intake pipe-manifold are OK.

If it's the turbo that's gone to pot, you might hear some loud hissing at
irregular intervals when it's under load. I would suggest listening for that
on both the Folks and the Audi with windows down, radio and vent off in a
quiet, preferably narrow street uphill with walls on both sides that would
echo and amplify the sound they make in second or third gear.

My two sounds, I mean cents,
