Turbo manifold
Turbo Mini Forums

Hi. I recently brought a turbo engine with a home-made exhaust manifold. Not being an expert on turbo's im after your thoughts as to whether this would work ok?
Also i have been told the turbo i have is a T2 unit from a renault 5, can anyone confirm this from the pic? Also could anybody tell me what the 2 highlighted pipe connections are for? Thanks

Pipe connections highlighted

hard to tell form that pic, but its deffo not a water cooled version so if it is an r5 its an early one.

"Turbo's make torque, and torque makes fun"

"did you know you can toast potato waffles?"

its got the same fittings everywhere as mine that came from a maestro turbo did. its of a 2.0td i think it is, from the maestro/montego.

fine for a road turbo mini.

Cheers. Could you tell me what the two pipe connections are for on the end of the turbo? (on the left side) Do they need to be blanked?

Hi,
If you're clever I think you could use them with a solenoid for 2 stage boost. Personally just block them off.
Cheers,
Gavin :)
