Gt2052v turbo onto 200tdi defender

well I’ve not seen much online about any one fitting a gt2052v off of an Audi v6, onto a 200 so I decided to give it a go, and we’ll its been a success, bolts straight onto the 200 manifold. Had to use the defender actuator, and get a downpipe fabricated up, I’ve run it for a few weeks now, with no hassles, even did a weekend off-roading at drumclog, I don’t give it an easy life by any means, just thought I’d let you all know it’s possible and easy to do,

Hi mate. Currently trying to do this conversion on my 300tdi defender and I'm having trouble fitting the vacuum actuator. Have you used the actuator off your original turbo?

He’s first post says, had to use the defender actuator

what boost you running and how does it compare to standard turbo?

And.. what are your EGT's like ?

this is somethimg I'm looking into, have a turbo (was cheap!) but converting from Vacuum to pressure actuator seems to be a secret

I've been looking towears a wastegate actuator from an Iveco but not bought anything to try yet

Rich.

What is the advantage ?
