variable vane turbos

[squidsd1]

I have seen a lot of threads about vnt turbo but not much about figures of economy and power differences torque and kilowatts .I've heard more reviews about driveabillity but that's it. if any one has any info that would be awesome.

I fitted one to my 97 disco about 2 months ago
my TDI300 goes excellent now, best thing I have ever done to it!
just finished a 4300km return trip to fraser and Morton island
fully loaded and got 10L per 100km on average
but sorry no KW or torque spec's
just better all round.
got it from
AlliSport Land Rover Defender 300 Tdi VNT Turbo Direct Replacement Turbocharger | eBay


great freight service to Australia
I also did the first stage intercooler upgrade

What did it cost you all up? Was it pretty straight forward to fit

But that's why you fit a VNT, superior driveability, not for more power.

It cost around 1800 with freight and import costs
It was easy to fit and streight forward
I also blanked off the egr and fitted silicon turdo hoses,
I also removed the middle muffler and put a streight piece of pipe
In its place with on extra noise from the exhaust.
The rest of the exhaust is stock .
When driving and the revs get under 2000 you can
Hear the turbocharger change tune to boost you back up
I am very happy with it.
Now I have a good 2nd hand turdo and intercooler
For sale 😃

here are some photos
the intercooler still fits in the same spot with no mods
the actuator at the top of the turbo is the vane controller not waste gate

Was the inlet manifold supplied too ? What's the lowest rpm u think the turbo is working from?
