Your thoughts please, considerin using this on my engine instead of a T2 i was planning on using. It has a variable nozzle on it, dunno wot this means but any descriptions would be good.

are you sure its for a petrol engine, I didn't think the VNT's could take the higher temps that a petrol engine puts out

Im gonna be using a VNT15 soon mate so let you know how I get on. I have checked it out, from what I have read they work on petrol motors. As mine will be a road car and running moderate boost just thought it would be nice without the lag.

Time will tell I spose


Also got a T25 if all else fails.

What would you get a VNT 15 / 17 out of? and would they be small enough for a 998cc?

VNT15 come from 1.9TDI audi/vw engines think the VNT17 are on some merc TDI engines. I dont even know how suitable they will be on any petrol engine. As far as I am aware I am the only on here so far to give it ago. Mine should be on the road in 2-3weeks. So wish me luck lol

I will post some pictures on here soon as I upload them
