just in the process of swaping the turbo on my t jet and the one that is on is a vl37 and the new 1 is a vl36 i was told this is an abarth turbo but the size is no different am i going to gain anything changing it ? is it the internals that are different?

the abarth turbo unit is the same size its just the internals that are different IRRC:slayer:

yes this i think this is true , speak to red dot they can help you as they helped me , and they say you get better results from the abarth vl36/ vl38 turbo rather than the vl37 turbo !!

if you notice the turbo inlet turbine is actually completely different to the vl37 and the casing before it has been bored out a little. but external dimensions are the same as are all the oil and coolant feed locations,

youve got nothing to worry about, infact they share the same hot side casing & manifold so all i did was take out the cold side and slot the new one in carefully and re-attach the actuator so i didnt have to dettach the unit from the manifold its an easy job tbh as its front mounting in a comparitively spacious bay.

thankyou for the replies were on anyways seems a slight bit of improvement alot smoother and a bit more in the higher rev ranges just need to get it mapped again any good places and accurate with a rolling road?

thanks

yes the power was held further up the rev range and if you have a boost gauge youll notice the overboost function holding longer too
