Oh yeah your right! Well Im excited now! I dont imagine it would be cheap though...couple of grand?

Ohh interesting

That ones running a pressure actuator, unlike most variable vane turbos which run vacuum actuators driven from the ECU.
The stock TD5 turbo is a GT2052S, so odds on this one being a GT2052V are pretty good. GT2052V's were also used on the VW/audi 2.7 V6 diesels and nissans ZD30.

But the magic here would be the direct bolt in. No doubt a custom exhaust housing.

John;

not having owned a TD5 i know not a lot about these engine , but they tend to put out pretty good Torque / power as they are and with a little bit of Chipping and Intercooling they go very well, seen Slunnie vehicle and it's impressive , I presume these VNT Turbo units to be kind of Pricey , and if so the Gains would have to be pretty good for someone to Justify an upgrade to one of these units ?where a Chipp and Intercooler might cost a little less with similar or better Gain?

Any thoughts on this?

A VNT turbo works with those upgrades to give better results still.

Wouldn't you like a small turbo sometimes to get fast spoolup and boost at low rpm? Wouldn't you like a larger turbo at other times for more top end power?
This is what a VNT does.

I think it would great on mine as its a Td5 manual, so it really takes a bit of boot to get it going to 1st sometimes. A VNT would really help this by bring the boost on earlier...
