vnt turbos    gt1749v  gt1749va or gt1749vb 

they are found on pd130 and pd150 engines?
is anyone familair with thie turbo option.. or have you heard of anyone apart from kane fitting an uprated vnt turbo ??

[biohaufen]

Yeah, maybe.... probably.... someone is using it.

But you shouldn't really make it public, as we were all able to see what might happen then. (German TÜV+kane)

[stylophonic]

thanks for the reply..

so your saying that there will be people using this.. but no one will tell because of tuv problems?

im not sure what did actually happen to kane?? did his car not get approved? what happened?

Variable turbos will only work on the ATL 90HP engine. The AMF and BHC work with a 'traditional' waste-gate turbocompressor and cannot (reasonably) be fitted with a VNG turbo.

 

Here's a conversion video on Kane's 6 speed gearbox.

 

Here (you already found this thread) you can read what happened. During an ordinary control non-standard items were discovered that were not approved. All upgrades were then retrofitted.
