VNT-17 ALH Retrofit Information
The VNT-17 bolts directly up to the ALH and uses the same oil feed and return lines, but it requires either a VNT-17 adapter or a clip-connector pipe to connect the compressor with the stock ALH lower intercooler pipe.
1999.5 & Early 2000 owners: you will also need to purchase the later style pancake pipe in addition to the clip connector hose. You may also need a threaded union junction for the oil return line for the 99.5s as well. 1998-2001 owners will also need to purchase an updated style turbocharger bracket.
