what turbo have i got??
Turbo Mini Forums

hi

when i bought my turbo off ebay a while ago, i was told it was a T2 of a R5.

can you tell from the pics if its the water cooled type?
or what it exactly is?

i have no reason to doubt it is, im just not 100% sure what connector is what etc (i have an idea just want to double check).

if anyone who could be kind enough to have a look and wants more pics just ask.

cheers
josh

The two studs and water pipe unions show that it's definately an R5GT spec T2.

sorry to sound dumb but what one is the water pipe union?

are they the ones that done have any thread on them? just push on type fit?

also it has a bit of play side to side but not back and forth, you carnt see the movement, only feel it, do you think that will be ok? im going to just fit it and see what hapens and if its no good then ill just get it reconed and maybe uprated!

(edited the question so you can understand I HOPE!!lol)

yes, wateris the "push on" connections (actually banjo fittings)

the big hole is for the oil drain and the smaller one the oil feed.

Thats identical to my R5GTT turbo.
