Might seem like a silly question but I can't find anything about the turbo fitted to this particular engine code AJQ. It's a 2000 model.
I removed the turbo on Sunday as it was seized and I wasn't getting any boost at all. It all came off fine apart from the securing bracket....which was a bloody pain thanks to the transfer box that gets right in the way!!
Anyway, I can't find a turbo specifically for my engine and was wondering if any old K03 will do? or even the K03s? I'm not looking to tune it as I'll be selling it soon, just needs to work as it should with all 180 horses.
I was looking at getting a repair kit but don't want to risk it not being 100% (as I don't want to be taking it off again). I hear the shaft needs to be balanced.
Are the differences in the models in the casings, actuators, propellers? They all look quite similar so I'm wondering where the differences are. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Also, if anyone knows where to get hold of one and for how much, that would be great.
Cheers
Ben
