Garrett GT2052 removed from a Merc 2.2 diesel. On T2 manifold, vacuum actuator replaced by modified TD04 actuator. Custom downpipe with 3" elbow with v-band connection. Will be running 18-20psi.




Car's not on the road yet because of brake problems Once it's going it should be a pretty epic turbo for the B roads.

Guess that took a bit of bulkhead modification?

For the exhaust? No, just took quite a few attempts to get it angled right to clear everything!

I meant for the compressor side of the turbo, I thought bigger turbo's usually hit the bulkhead if on a t2 mani?

I didnt have any clearance issues either on the steering column or the bulkhead, I chopped my bulkhead anyway because tbh i'm irresponsible like that

Lol i had to cut my bulkhead for my standard turbo. Need to get myself a spare manifold and see if the GT2359V will even consider fitting at the back of the bay.

Ill put up some pictures of my toy soon.

Yeah had to hit it with a hammer slightly, you can see in the pic, I have painted it though so the modification blends in better. Good thing about this turbo is that the wastegate further down than a td04 so there's loads of room for an actuator.

As promised;

this was only a rough mock up during the build








Just need to get this bad boy fitted;
