19J&200TDI are definately not the same.19J is indirect injection and not intercooled.Many people have had terrible trouble with these and they should be approached with caution unless you are a diesel expert.I love mine and so do a few other enthusiasts.200TDI is more powerful and often more reliable due to a strengthened block and the introduction of intercooling.These engines have a great reputation.Really good examples of either are hard to find now unless you dont mind paying dear.Good luck.

They are different Garret part numbers BUT, pretty much anything is possible. You might find this an interesting read:

So, what are the advantages of a 19j turbo over the standard 200tdi one then?

Think its the fact that the turbo sits underneath and fowls the steering link on a left hooker so he has put on a 19j that mounts on top?

So why bother changing it? Sounds like a load of trouble for no real benefit to me.
