    Thanks All for the compliments.

    Unfortunately there are just not enough hours in the day for me to make kits. I have a full time job and enough to do in the shed with my own projects.

    I'll speak to the guy who supplied the turbo about if he is prepared to make a kit. I haven't put his name up here yet as I wanted to ask him if it was OK first.

    Cheers

    Michael

    Great job Mick, the pics made me drool. By the sounds of it he supplied you with a smaller turbo than what was fitted from factory. Was it the lag you were trying to get rid of ?

    Hi Matt,

    The new turbo is actually bigger than the original. The variable geometry of the exhaust turbine makes it spool up faster.

    Do a bit of a search on Variable Nozzel Turbochargers or Variable Geometry Turbochargers.

    Here's a link to one explanation: How does Variable Turbine Geometry work?

    Cheers

    Michael

    My first post - be nice I'm partway through installing a VGT onto my 300Tdi so I'm very interested in your handiwork. My build is described here: 300Tdi VGT project - LR4x4 - The Land Rover Forum

    Yours looks like a cracking install, I wish I had a workshop like that!

    Question - how are you controlling the boost level? Do you have an EGT or boost pressure gauge? As you can see from my rather verbose thread, I'm trying to use manifold pressure to actuate a diaphragm which moves the vanes open and closed, with some small success.
