Last summer my GT22v was destroyed at the drags.Let go with a loud bang at 99mph,still got an et of 14.5.
No parts available in NA for a GT22v,that was the answer from two turbo rebuilders.Crap, what do I do now? Did some research ,found out that a MB Sprinter [2.7 Diesel] also uses a GT22v.There is a local rebuilder in St Thomas Ontario who I went to see about my GT22v ,during our discussion He mentioned that a tech from a dealer had a turbo off a sprinter and wanted to use it for a project,one problem was that it uses a stepper motor to control the vanes, so much for his project.This turbo was aquired and the parts from it were fit into my housings with some modifications.
So now I have my turbo back ready for this season coming up.
The owner goes under the name :CHERRY TURBOS,his name is Herman and is very knowlegeable and works on any turbo you can think of ,from snow mobiles to earthmovers etc.
