WTB: Turbo - K26 or possibly a VNT
WTB: Turbo - K26 or possibly a VNT
I've been a lurker on this forum for awhile learning about these cars. I finally got my self a 300D. The engine is blown but the people I bought it from gave me a "good" engine to go in the car.
I inspected the turbo on the original engine and it appears to have what I would call a lot of side-to-side shaft play. It's a T3 and from what I read a K26 would be an upgrade. I figured since I need a new one anyway a K26 would be a good buy.
I'm open to a VNT as well. I would prefer this route but I need to read up some more on what is involved in the install of a VNT turbo. I have a Duramax truck and it has a VNT so I know the feeling of a quick-spooling turbo and it's nice
I'm going to a couple pick-n-pull's in a few days in search of a turbo. If anyone has a turbo or knows a place I could find a good deal on one I would appreciate it!
Thanks in advance!
