Title: which turbo
Post by: kennedyuk2001 on 20 February 2012, 09:21

Which model of turbo does my AJM have, and is it possible to fit bigger in it, what would it need doing on top if i got bigger turbo.

a lot - injectors, air intake ducting, other cooling components... the AJM is also renound for having head gasket issues so i wouldn't be supprised if you'd be changin that within a few K miles

Head gaskets eh, never a problem one wants.
Do you know what the turbo it has fitted just now? I may need to replace if I cant get it running better and throwing limp mode.
Still got loads to do before I would change it but would like to know for future ref.

indeed - will be fine on a standard setup but with a few more ponies going through i reckon it'd pop easily.
i dont know what ones fitted as standard - should have looked when i had mine off but forgot.

it's easy enough to take off and check the veins, etc - have you checked the n75 valve and vacuum pipes?
