If I was going to replace my turbo on a stock ALH...
« on: April 23, 2008, 09:01:39 pm »
What would I look for in an upgrade?

Also, has anyone got any pics of an ALH turbo and its innards at about 200K?

I bought a cheap used one, seems OK to me as far as the vanes, shaft, etc, but I wouldn't know what it should look like if it bit me!

PS, the turbo on my 200K ALH wagon is whining at low RPMs (1400-1900) and I am thinking about swapping it out for an upgrade or this used one when I clean the EGR and the intake manifold.

Thanks, all help appreciated!
