So this is the turbo on the 2.1 that came yesterday...
a Garrett obviously...
but this is the plate on it...no idea what it is and the numbers do nothing on the net...
the only thing obvious to me is the T2...but I thought the T2 was huge?!
any thoughts?
Piggy
T2's are not huge.
Edit: Googled a little bit and all i found is TBO228 says its citreon.
Edit2: From a xantia 2.1?

kay...
TB0228....
A shit one
T2's are tiny.
That looks like a GT15 sized snail.
Lol!!
Suggestions for replacement? Something not too big.. a t25?

Dont bother with a t25 get a td04 if your going bigger.
Rekon will fit behind the engine and bulkhead though?!

Behind a 1.9 yes
Behind a 2.1 not a clue.. but doubtful.
exactly...hence my issue!!
Thought you didn't like revvy diesels?
If you don't, stay stock....

lol...so am i so would suit!! haha
Well don't get a TD04 or a T25...
Do some research into bigger but better turbos... Bigger =/= better but at the same time, bigger doesn't necessarily mean more lag if you choose well...
ok...fair comment...what would you suggest?
Do some research and find out what would be best, I've written my opinion on turbos countless times, have a look through some previous posts, I've explained how A/R, wheel sizing and efficiency affects things, you should make your decision based on this
To be honest, even if you found a more efficient newer equivalent of the T2 you'd make decent power, I worked out my T2 at 28psi was about 60% or less efficient, if you could find one that operates at 75%+ efficient with the same flow you'd see good improvements as the less efficient they get, the more they just make heat instead of flow.
As Ruan said though, reading is your friend. I just spent a month and two turbos getting a setup that works and it's epic. It's so much more rewarding knowing you've gone out, looked into something and made it work, especially when it's different to the norm.
Anyone can buy a td04 and a set of adapter plates and make it work, but that's no fun

thats true...
Nothing wrong with a T25 shlags!

i used to like you
haha it will be fun making a (genuine) hybrid TD04 setup which will be unlike the norm
Mountie lad has done that already sir, remember the 19twentyT with a gazillion torkz?
HAHAHA oh shitt no that was a 18g turbine off a TD05
Well mines a 15g already but going for the 19T soon
need to make bulkhead adjustments though, got a tap atm and its annoyin fink its just heatshield on steerring rack tapping but cant see haha
Pfft, I chopped 10" of bulkhead away, loads of clearance now. Did a turbo change with the engine in situ

hahaha quality my thinking on next time its coming out for drilling and tapping head so can bolt all 6 bolts in manifold as opposed to 4
Think may make more room even if not needed while the engine is out...appears to be something needed for the future!!!
