hello there,i am in the middle of upgrading my td5 turbocharger to a garrett gt2256v vnt.has anyone done it just struggling with the actuator positioning any help or pics wood be very helpful thanks steve.:confused:
 
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 :D

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?>
