Id better add that they are a vac actuated turbo with a 1 piece hot side so you cant bodge on a 306 exhaust flange even if the manifold flange is pretty close to perfect.

[the milkman]

alright thanks for that chris bud

[Midnightclub]

How different is the hotside compared to a 306 chris?

[Dum-Dum]

It's a completely different flange and takes up alot more space even if it does point in roughly the right direction. The cold side pipe could be a bit big too.

You could hybrid it with a standard HDi GT1544 and make a good turbo for a little bit more power on a stage 2 map but the cheapest working one on ebay is currently £130 plus post. If you wanted to do it there is many cheaper, better and lower mileage GT1549s to use

Obviously I know nothing about this and im definitely not currently building one

Dont want to hijack the thread but what about a transit turbo? Ive got a couple of a 2.2TDI 100bhp turbo's lying around only done between 3k-14k what sort of gains or how good are they? The look small enough to fit.

[the milkman]

Small enough to fit? Pftt you wanna go big enough so you have to make it fit!

[NP306]

The turbo sounds sweet on these 2.2 transits and they seem to fly for only 100ps

[Anton]

Thats because they have oodles of torque...

Do you know what turbo is on the transit?

[NP306]

Ill check tomorrow morning and get a few pics
