GTB2260VKLR vs GTB2060V

[Rgroves231]

I purchased a GTB2260VKLR and just got it in the mail. It has stamped on it "GTB2060V". I just want to confirm that the 22 refers to the turbine side sizing? Is this the turbo that I ordered? Or did I get the wrong one? How could I confirm? Thanks everyone!

I could be wrong here, but isn't the 2260 built off the 2060? 2060 is the oem size turbo so wouldn't the 2260 be stamped with 2060 then machined to accept the larger wheel?

That's odd because the gtb2260vklr I have in my garage definately says on the stamp on the air side GTB2260V

 

[Rgroves231]

That is a bummer. Is there any chance that it could be machined? Or is that not common practice? Thanks

 

[Rgroves231]

And does anyone happen to know the differences between the two?

The turbine on the 2260 is 50mm, the 2060 is 47mm.
The compressor is the same.

20 is 20 and 22 is 22. They are distinct frame size families. If the turbo is an OEM one, the 6-digit number (usually accompanied with another 4 digits), e.g. 123456-1234 will help trace what original application it comes from. GTB2xxxVKLR were equipped in the Mercedes-Benz inline-6 Diesels and have a distinctive sideways turbine inlet flange unless modified by cutting and rewelding to fit a TDI manifold.

The smaller 2060 is less laggy and probably better suited to a daily-driven TDI.

Be happy you got the 2060 as its better suited for a street car. Pushed should do 280+ hp without problems.

To help the id tag on mine
Merc part number A642 090 95 80

My turbo also looked like the one above by Tdi Meister until I modified the flange on the hot side

Not to jump on this thread but looks like y'all are in the same ball field as me.Ok getting ready to build one out I already have a bullet crank on order forged rods 2060 turbo and a 17/22 both brand new as well as brand new injectors with .260s and trying to figure out what pistons to go with as well as head or head work.If any of y'all can help me out or put me on a thread that someone has already pushes a alh for all it's worth let me know.also going to do duel intercooler the original side mount in aluminum and a fmic see how cold I can get it if that don't work I'll go water cooler.Let me know y'all.Again sorry to jump your post

A ported head like Franko6 does? A beastly camshaft from Franko6 too? Oh heck, get both.

Hahaha ok so I'm talking to some racers from Poland going with a 22/65 and .360 nozzles and they are on the way now to find the head to match I have a friend that engineers diesels has for 50 years and we did the numbers in the cylinder.I am about the top of any air we can do in a alh without compounding turbos.Not trying to compound due to having to put liners in to keep the cylinder wall from splitting.

I spoke with the vendor. My turbo is a 2260 but has the 2060 compressor housing. I was able to measure the turbine to verify. Thanks for your help everyone!
