2. Kit used (acv, Volvo, other etc)
3. Intercooler fitted Y/N inc type fitted.

Mine was a professional install which was done in Germany in 2005. Turbo was changed when the van was imported in 2011. The van is a 1991 2.4 Westfalia.

1. Pic of engine bay

Will add one later.

2. Kit used (acv, Volvo, other etc)

Don't know. Work was done in Germany in 2005.

3. Intercooler fitted Y/N inc type fitted.

No.

4. Power output (rolling road proof or guestimate)

German documentation indicates turbo is running at 0.65 bar, giving around 90hp.

5. Any other additions or future plans?

The gearbox does not look standard. It's pulling 3000rpm at 60mph, which seems to high. I don't know if the gearbox was changed because of the turbo, or because the van has spent most of it's time in the Bavarian Alps.

It's has an oil cooler fitted.

Fuel economy isn't great, around 30-32mpg, but then it is a heavy, double glazed Westy.

I'm planning on changing the hose from the air filter to turbo to a silicon one. The current one is porous, can't be a good idea? Also thinking of adding a catch can to the breather breather pipe. I don't have a great deal of mechanical knowledge, is this a good idea?

Hi All,
Here is Nobby, who has just got himself a Turbo.

Removed the cylinder head, to de-coke and make the job easier, new valves fitted.

Turbo fitted, PP3 Injectors, Fuel screw in half a turn, boost running at 1bar.

Very happy with the results.
Now waiting for the sun to shine!

Where is your brake servo? must have made that job so easy with that out of the way.
