turbos

I suspect I know what the answer to this question is and why but I'll ask anyway. From what I understand, the G Qv tbi uses a K04 turbo and the 159tbi a K03? As an upgrade to the 159 turbo, is it possible to simply fit a K04 cartridge into the 159 turbo manifold/housing? Or are fans /...

Hello AO members, after many and many hours of googling I always end up getting here, this shows me there is a massive amount of knowledge here. So let me tell you a little about why I'm going to ask some questions. After driving my friends Alfa 147 1.9 16v I decided to take a turn from petrol...

Are the 170 turbos direct bolt on to the 150 s ?

So I have my Giulia cloverleaf on order, and while I wait til delivery (this month, yayy) I'm hoovering up all the vids and comments on it. And some petrolheads online have raved about the turbos being "in the V" of the engine. And I'd love to know what difference the turbo location makes -...

I'm sick of Google now...! Can someone let me know what standard turbos were fitted to the 147 jtd (m?) I have a manifold to play with for my conversion but struggling to find what turbo was fitted originally so I can get gaskets. Tia.:)

Has anyone on here tried fitting the twin turbo set up off 2008 on SAAB 9-3 to a 1.9 JTD? Notice they are available and complete assembly with manifold etc, old SAAB stock new for less than a grand!

Need to find a new or nearly new turbo for my little 147...been scanning around various places and thought I'd leave a post here see if anyone here could help. Car is a '08 147 Ducati corse 1.9 jtdm 170bhp Obviously cheapest is better so anyone reputable that does reconditioning would be a big...

Hi all Just want anyones take on whether I should fork out on a new turbo and if so does anyone know a good reliable place to purchase a new Garrett unit avoiding the £1200 at the main stealers? Firstly my 159 1.9 jtdm is running fine but has always has the police siren whine since I owned it...

Whilst in 6th gear I pull out to overtake and loose power no lights on the dash just a awfull rattle from the turbo. Getting really sick now.

HI can anyone tell me if the turbo from a 147 1.9 jtd 8v is the same as a 16v ,does the turbo from a 156 1.9 16v fits the 147 16v thanks

As per title really. Mine is dead and want to find a cheap second hand one. What other models, including fiats and saabs, share the same one? Thanks in advance

evening lads, I was at a Bike show today and saw a fully built engine on a stand. It was a 2.8l v8 with twin turbos and throtle bodies, and it wasnt much bigger than a lawnmower! from what I could tell it was two hayabusa top ends mated to a custom block giving a really compact revvy v8, which...

hello everyone i assemble turbos for a living, and people seem scared of them and allways expect them to go bang. i hope by typing this up it will maybe put some minds at ease! the most important thing is to change your oil and filter regular, as thick gloopy oil cannot get through oilways and...

As confirmed by AlfaNige (big thanks to him last night as he confirmed my worse fears and spent a good few hours round my house offering his expertise) I require a new turbo for my 156 JTD 136bhp – I’m dreading what the cost is going to be but can someone please confirm whether or not they can...

Just out of interest at the Moment does anyone know what model Turbos are fitted to the following cars 150bhp 16v, 175bhp 20v and the new 200bhp 20v. I was thinking about the Brera lag and wondered if it still have a VNT or whether Alfa just added a bigger normal turbo hence the lag, I was...

So my quest to stangle every possible bit of power out of my 155 has taken me to the rather muddled world of TURBOS.... Reading past threads it looks like it can be done AT A COST. :eek: Has anyone successfully fitted a turbocharger. autodelta do a kit but it cost 3 grand, are there any...
