I am planning to change to a new turbo soon, and am most probably going for the 17/22. But before I pull the trigger ($1399 is a really major decision at this point in my life LOL), would just want to check with you guys if there are any other turbos I can consider?
1. I want as big a turbo as possible (within the below limitations of course)!
2. I am driving an MK2 van, so the annoying rear engine mount might be in the way for anything bigger than a 18 exhaust side.
3. The new turbo must bolt onto a stock ALH, without needing to custom any manifolds or downpipes etc The exhaust side must also be continuous with the exhaust manifold, like the VNT17/22).
4. Its a RHD van (the compressor outlet is straight, as opposed to bent at a 90 degree angle I have seen in some 17/22s)
I have heard of VT3s, 18/56s, but can't seem to find any for sale!
P.S. I am also selling my 2052V setup if anyone wants it. Customised tubular manifold, turbo is mounted on TOP of the manifold, so i would sit somewhere level with your valve cover. Its still in great running condition, just that it wouldn't pass inspection in my sad sad country. Also have the full front mount intercooler set for this turbo setup, built for a MK2 caddy van.
