I know what you mean about trying to cut back.

Some people in the UK are putting together a VNT turbo for the TD5. They have managed to source housings that make it pretty much bolt in. It uses the stock exhaust manifold and dump pipe, and the stock air inlet pipework.

There followed several requests from others for a VNT to suit the 300Tdi. They replied that they would look at that after the TD5 kit is out.

Thinking that it may help with producing a kit for the 300Tdi, I posted some pics showing the Garrett designations cast into the turbine and compressor housing and etched to the serial patch on the compressor.

These pics, as below are of the VNT from a 2.8. that I had on the 300Tdi in my rangie.

It fits!
There's a bloke I know who makes an sells VGT kits using the 200 manifold.
Shame such manifold seems no longer available as spare (it costed more than 200€ anyway!!!).
