Sounds like a crazy question; but trying to source a VNT; prereably a GT18V or GT20V but struggling to find anywhere to buy it from?
Ebay; only really has rebuild kits
Gumtree; only has one VNT turbo
Any info. would be great.
Ebay is full of VNT's
You just need to research what cars have the turbos you want on them, and then search for that car's turbochargers on ebay, rather than GT2052v, as that will find naff all as people with a turbo for sale list it for what its for in general

So search for "Mercedes C Class turbo" rather than specific VNT's?
I've found loads after researching the cars that have the right ones. I'm not giving names away as they are for me to buy not others (I may tell you though Stephen)
Ok.. link them on FB, we can get working!
Finding them is not an issue, it's the price. We'd be lucky to get one for less than £250

I'll take you the turbo shop, I'll let you lick that compressorhousingpop
Sam, where is this place?? we need to organise a club meet there
It's in Mianus, Tennessee.
Ffs.... Any other serious answers
No.
It's a 'crazy' question -_-
Turbos 'Я' Us, Turbos Turbos Turbos, Turbo Hut.
Never know, one might exist
Ebay....
Trust me I was searching for one for ages lol. But yeah as Darren said the majority of people don't even know what their turbo numbers are so usually list them under the car name. But people also dont often know what they want. When I sold my broken one spares and repairs (for £150 posted!) I listed it once as 'GT1749VA Turbo' - no bids. Changed it to 'Golf Bora TDI PD130 Turbo' 99p start and it went for £150 in the end lol.
Its a two stage thing really, google / forums to figure out what cars have what you want if you dont already know, and then ebay to find the bitchs, if you cant find the turbo, just search for cars being broken on ebay and mass pm loads of people, normally get a few offers back...
Ginge did you get my PM mate?
