Same wastegate. Exact same part number as well. Had to change mine 30k miles after my is20 install. Yes you can do if with turbo mounted. Just have to unbolt oil return line.

Just picked up a brand new 06k145874L from a member here. I already have an AWE Golf R downpipe installed and was wondering that since it comes in sections if I can just disconnect the top portion:
....move it out of the way and possibly avoid messing with the driveshaft..
The only thing I'm worried about is the wastegate adjustment portion of the install..
That aside is there anyone on the middle Tennessee area that could do the install?
Thanks..

Regarding the wastegate adjustment.
If one were replacing the IS20 turbo on a GTI would this step still need to be performed? I ask because I'm having one of our Audi techs do the install for me and if this were a normal procedure then he shouldn't run into any issues and just treat it like any other similar turbo replacement.
Thanks..

If the turbo is new or the wastegate was touched than this should be done, but otherwise it shouldn't be needed.

It's brand new. My question still stands though. Is this a normal procedure that would be done at the dealer if a turbo was replaced with a brand new unit?

Couldn't he get some of that advance by running the APR 100 octane program along with his JB4, instead of the 93 program he's been running?

Here’s a trick. You can get to the bottom oil return line from the top once you push the turbo off the studs.

So take the line off the block? So much conflicting info on this one. Some say remove nothing from block and remove only lines on turbo. Also, dumb question, but you are removing turbo from studs completely or just moving it out towards back of car but it is still on studs just have more room to work? If off studs, how is it being supported so you can work on that line?

Move the turbo off the studs a completely. I found it easier to take the oil return line off the block than the turbo itself.
