New Turbo!

[Mr Whippy]

Right.. I've spent the last couple of hours trying to work out a suitable way of getting this to fit. I can't find the application that Chris has suggested, so I'm stumped on that one. However, I have had a couple of thoughts.

One is to remove the standard airbox, all associated piping etc.. then gearbox mount it. Although I am aware this has several downsides, It would at least be able to fit in without modification to the turbo.

My other option is (and please someone tell me if I'm being stupid here) to try and use a T2 or similar hotside, machined out to fit, but I understand it's not just a case of milling out the casting and sticking it in.

Either way, this won't be happening until later in the year so gives me plenty of time to get it right. (unless the K03 blows up..)

Cheers for your help guys, I know I'm being a noob on this one, but we've all got to start somewhere eh? :roll:

The problem is the hot side shape as Ruan said, it'll never fit down the back, even with a different compressor end. The angle between inlet and outlet of the exhaust ports is just wrong

The Mercedes turbo sounds like a good bet. Is that the one that Lars used and provided dimensions/fitting flange plans for years ago? Probably a good bet as it fit well iirc!
