Okay 'Pla experts (I thought I was one until recently).
Here we go - just to preface this, I've got two 03 JTDs, had tow others in the past so I am totally Multipla'd up.
So... turbo has blown on car 1, 115hp Garret. Bought turbo used online, came in lovely condition, very happy. Except it's from a 2001 105, so it has a straight outlet etc, different oil pickup points and so on. Bummer as it was a good price. It looks like it was itself a replacement part as the manifold and ancillaries are old and crusty but it's nice and shiny, no play. Extra bummer.
Has anybody, and I know this is an extreme longshot, but has anyone ever fitted a 105 turbo to a 115. Possible a terrifically stupid idea, don't know if it's technically possible, just frustrated as there's a £200 price difference.
Alternately, anyone out there needing a very nice turbo and manifold for a JTD 105?
Ahem, thanks
