Is the 2011 JCW turbo the same as a 2009 JCW turbo? I am replacing my turbo and the one I want to buy is off a 2011 JCW.

It appears to be same part #.

Yes all N14 JCWs should be the same turbo, which is through 2012. The N18 JCW turbo (2013) is a different part number. That being said, they will all bolt on and play nicely.

Okay Great! Thank you! I will getting a new one soon

Yes, the N14 in the JCW turbo is used up till 2012. 2013+ different part number,

We have both N14 and N18 turbos on hand, locally rebuilt with an 18 month warranty and cost far less than an OE unit, as well as in stock and ready to ship.

For what it's worth, the main difference is the N18 turbo has allocations for the coolant feed line to the turbo to bolt on, and a difference of 2mm compressor wheel size.

Hey Chav,

The guys at Detroit Tuned are worth the trip up I75. I have taken my car up from Columbus several times.
