Recently got my sedan on the road and can't help but think the pumps not set right so what's the proper way of doing it I've heard of a few ways but which one is the right way

Tom (zx_volcane) has nailed it with his arduino control. You can make these diesels perform like they are fast non-turbos petrols just by having the torque so linear (I know you wouldn't want that but you get the idea) 250ftlb from the word go.

I had a GT2559v that I couldnt sell...big ass thing...
but GTB is the way forward now

In lamens terms, Garrett started with "T" turbos, then "GTs", then "GT....VNT"...now the latest gen is "GTB....vlkr"
I was going compound, but Im going to save for a GTB now as they are just silly good at what they do!

You'll have to excuse me i'm not all up to date with turbocharger codes and series mate!
They seems alright, just a lot of them come with the control for the Variable vane as part of the turbo body itself.

no its ok, its a bit more complex than that but thats a general idea.
You are right though, most of the GTBs have a circuit board/actuator box on them...although could be controlled otherwise
and its very hard to find even little GTBs at less than £200...
I hunt everyother day for a sub £200 GTB2260 and not yet found one even close...most want £300-400!

With a little bit of easy modification you could get that running off vacuum. Although i bet there's a bit more to running a VNT than just a vacuum/pressure.
We rang midland turbo, and a rebuild for the bigger GT23 was just shy of £400, that's new bearings, seals, internals etc.

ouch. Could buy 3 turbos for that price!!
yeah but the way I see it, is off a vacuum loses most of the advantages of VNT...so if you go through hassle of the VNT...set it up right like ZX_Volcane...
hats off to him!
