Garret carn't help me as my turbo doesn't exist according to the part no on it. I believe the part i want is very similar to one fitted to the tgv. Any help apprieciated.

Guest diesel_jim Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 Not much shown on the parts manual: try giving Stephen Cahill a shout. he's a Canadian chap who exports the 2.8's directly form Brazil to worldwide. he should be able to find the exact part number and supply it for you. www.obwcanada.com his website.

Does to me - the vacuum control arm operates the pitch of the flap on the inlet We used to use them at work, now we dont, read into that what you will Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that could be the non vairiable geometry turbo off the lower powered version of the 2.8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why not i've heard the mods do That'd be handy, I managed to get through to someone at the technical help desk at garret earlier, he started off all helpfull and freindly then after id given him the part no (about 3 times) he turned into a right arse demanding to know where i got it from.

dirtydiesel Posted August 7, 2007 Author Share Posted August 7, 2007 Oops, what did you tell him? Very little but by the tone of his voice, something very interesting must of flashed up on his pc when he typed the number in. I've been expecting a knock at the door from the garret gestapo all afternoon but they must have better things to do thankfully. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
