Sorry Bud, can't help you. But I do have a 2.8TGV with a VNT and it's superb!!! Just grunts from 800rpm - quite difficult to feel the turbo "kick in" as it's there all of the time. Hope yours is just as good.

How much did you pay for the turbo?

please tell us more about this

From which vehicle is the new turbo? I know it is a GT2256V but different source vehicles might probably mean different flanges. did you find one which fit the stock exhaust manifold and down pipe?>

The member you asked was last seen in 2015 on this forum so i'm curious too if he'll answer
