Jesus dropped to the second page again, I should try harder.

OWAIT, i haz update

Thanks to Toby and my uncanny ability to spend money whenever possible, I am now the proud owner of an interestingly shaped Garrett GT2056S removed from a Nissan Navarra 2.4TD. This is going to be interesting..

Mr Postman arrived today with a package containing a serious health and safety warning. "CAUTION: this package contains epic amounts of boost pressure." Now Toby really is a bit of a fud but he's funny, in the way that you laugh at your girlfriend's downs syndrome little brother's jokes. The polite "isn't that cute?" laugh.

Anyway, good news, turns out I don't need an adapter plate. In true me style I set about with the drill and tap set in a "shoot first, ask questions later" technique that has served me well so far.

Progress y0. This was about 10 mins after it arrived.



Drilled and tapped, and EGT probe fitted.



Next up, a little delivery from Jenks today. Custom oil line with M10x1.0 banjo (different from the TD04 line) sorted out at no extra cost, so £22.50 delivered by Royal Fail 1st class signed for. Top bloke, top service.



This was promptly fitted, turbo clocked, and bolted up to the newly tapped mani. Very very painless install, almost there. Just need an exhaust elbow and flexi section and job done!







Need to fine tune the compressor angle, which is no problem as the turbo's so new the bolts loosen up SO easily. worlds apart from 10 year old TD04's or even older T2's.

Also need to convert the actuator as it looks like it's a vacuum one on the Navarra, sprung the wrong way. Going to attack the one i've got, if it doesn't work i'll bolt on the T2 actuator. Which would be a shame as this one's shiny

All being well I can get an elbow made up tomorrow at a local fab place for cheapness and it'll be ready to go. Going to run conservatively for now, think 24psi should suffice while being nice and efficient. Boost i'm going to control with an MBC and keep the actuator as I don't want spikes or anything that could cause the engine to throw its toys out of the pram.

Won't be long now...
