Re: Buying a second-hand turbo

[andrew smith]

Daniel, You can drill and tap for a fitting on the lug near the comp outlet or you could run it off the manifold.Should go well with that on it.I'm looking at fitting one of these on a volvo 860 (2.5L 5 cyl 20 valve).Still looking into computer mods to suit the turbo conversion.These things use a motronic which are hard to alter.I'll probably end up piggy backing a unichip onto it as long as it doesn't affect the trans comp.There's a guy in perth who as one of these turbos on a ca18det which makes 160kw at the wheels at 15psi.
