Garrett GT2052s with induction, oil lines, MBC

[Ricky]

Probably going to sell my turbo along with a few bits.

Garrett GT2052s from a Mercedes E220 cdi, complete with TD04 actuator, bolted to a T2 non EGR manifold. Will come with oil lines, air filter and induction piping, MBC and relevant piping to attach it to the LDA pipe.


Think the turbo is in ok condition, little shaft play but I think the slack gets taken up by the oil. Exhaust side has been modified slightly, the V-band 3" connection has been grinded down to fit a normal 3" v band clamp. Was running around 20-22psi most of the time. Boosts nicely, no strange noises and sounds awesome with the filter and a good exhaust.

If one day the turbo fails, then a replacement can be found and bolted straight to the exhaust housing to save messing about, could probably be done on the car tbh. Keep it around 22psi maximum and it should be reliable, although i'm not guaranteeing that! The filter is a Ramair foam filter, with 70mm dual ply silicone ducting to a 70-63mm reducer to the turbo. It sounds pretty awesome.

IMPORTANT: You will need to fabricate a downpipe for this yourself as I will not sell mine, so please don't even ask. Also the manifold has a hole in it for an egt probe.

Only pictures I have:




Due to the fact that it has been/will be run at higher boost than standard, this is sold as seen.

Think that's everything, I think £220 is fair.

REDUCED TO £200

I can't reiterate enough how amazing these GT blowers are on XUD's. They drive so differently to TD04's and boost comes in silly early, like peak boost way before 2.5krpm and they hold up to 5krpm easily. And FYI the GT's have a small amount of side to side play as standard due to the design of the bearing, the oil takes up this slack. Only excessive side to side play and in/out play are to worry about.

Well worth the money, just hope noone assumes because TD04's are getting cheap that this should also be cheap. Worlds apart in my eyes.

[Ricky]

Also these don't really compare to TD04's power wise, these are king of midrange punch and torque, the 52 should make a healthy 150hp with a decent fuel setup and around 20psi. Makes for an awesome drive.

[Anton]

Amen to that ^^^

I am hitting full boost (24psi) by 2k!

Should have gone for the '56 then

But yes, unless you plan on breaking the speed limit everywhere you go, the GT is the way forwards. TD04's are great for making big power at high revs but a GT'd XUD will be away long before the TD04 has chance to catch up.

Torque ftmfw.

I guess you wouldnt want to split and sell the air filter and pipe seperate?

[Ricky]

I may split if there's no interest in the lot.

[Frosty]

ok cuz i would be interested in the air filter and pipe

Has any one dyno proven this turbo/the same turbo to see over 150bhp?

Ruan made 175 at 21-22 psi on a GT2052V iirc

[ozonehostile]

i can vouch for how fun this turbo is on an xud, drove this very one from rickys to mine with a grin all the way home, such a punchy little turbo, you just look at the throttle and its already at full boost.

Wasn't that vnt tho? Or are they bascily the same?

[Just Sean]

thats what the v stands for

[Ben]

How close is it to the bulkhead/steering rack/power steering pipes etc?

If my pump was set up properly I'm sure it would have touched 150.

[Ruan]

Same compressor as my old VNT, should easily make 160hp at around 20lbs of boost.. Id expect to see 150hp at around tbe 18lbs Mark, you'd be amazed what modern GTs will do with feck all boost...

This.

22psi and my 9mm is maxed, far too clean on boost. 2psi more and 10mm ftw.

[silverzx]

Whats the spool like compared to a VNT Ruan?

[darrenjlobb]

Tbh on a turbo that size, not much odds between it and the VNT i wouldnt have thought, given that trying to run any boost any lower down will just result in surge / high torque anyway...

For a quick mid range muncher, its the perfect turbo.

[Ruan]

Yeah, to be fair, you won't notice much difference between a V and a S, the RPMs they'll produce usable boost will be about the same, you'll notice a difference on gearchange, the time it takes when you press back on the accelerator to get back to full power is less than a Wastegater, but it's an awesome turbo tbf!

[ozonehostile]

the turbo is off the car now so someone buy it! haha

not too difficult getting it on or off, biggest PITA is the inlet manifold

[Ricky]

Reduced to 200, could do with the money.

[TarnLad2013]

take any less?

[Ricky]

£180, but that's not including postage.

[Jimbo]

I have to ask why you wont sell this with the down pipe seems odd as the sort of completes the kit as a 'bolt on '
Surely you haven't got another use for it

he's obviously gonna use it again . .

[TarnLad2013]

sent you a pm mattcheese31

[Ricky]

want to keep the downpipe because its the most difficult part to make up again, incase I ever need it again.

[Dave]

To be fair, this would be so much more appealing to alot of people, if it were a bolt-on kit, as it means people wont have to make up the downpipe themselves. You know how to make it up, you've already done it, where as someone else who dosent have tools/the know how cant do it so easy so less reluctant to buy.

Bolt on kit ftw!

[Ricky]

I didn't make it though my father in law made it up for me, took him a lot of his own time to mock up and weld. If I made it I would sell it. I know its a pain though.
