Well I have been searching for hours and have found nothing!

I can find ones like this one. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/T3-T4-Turbo-Turbocharger-w-wastegate-Boost-Controller_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQ_trksidZp1742Q2em153Q2el1262QQcategoryZ33742QQihZ002QQitemZ120271301922

And ones close but it looks like that's to big for what I need.

I found a VW manifold with the T3 mount so I can mount it without having to build an adapter (which it what I'll prob end up doing anyway to save money).

Kerma has them.

Ya, I'm not spending $1200+ on this deal...

I was willing to try that T3 that Pete has listed on his site but there still not available

i think tintin was selling his vnt-20 for about $600??? having a brand new one sure is nice, but quite pricey!!!

that would be a decent turbo... basically a vnt-20 but with a regular wastegate.

zuk the one you posted from ebay is only good for a gasser. the a/r is off by too much.

looks like a PD150 turbo right there.

Ya for sure.

I think I'm going to have to stick with a t3/t4 deal and make an adapter.
May just weld the flange on the OE manifold so it will bolt right on.
I would like to get a new manifold as well so it just bolts on and may still do that, just with all the other adaption crap I have to deal with as well, New DP and intake set up as well and the inter-cooler piping..

I would have to build a external waste gate as well.

COMPRESSOR .42 AR COMPRESSOR
TURBINE .48 AR TURBINE

hmmm thats not bad. it will be more like the mercedes turbo from what andy2 has said. it will be a bit laggier than the T3's that came with our engines, but should stand up to quite a bit of abuse.

if it wasn't for shipping those european turbo's would be awesome!!!

So this is what it looked like after a 530 miles drive with no turbo.

After a quick wash job.

was it smoking bad? maybe that was just the residual oil burning off...

quickly went through this thread ...... and i could find no one who has sugested compund turbo's .......

compound turbo's would give very fast spool up , but huge amounts of air on the top end , while also giving reliability of a single turbo at stock presure levels ( assuming it's enginered properly )

to prevent the k24 from self destructing at 25 -35 psi , add a bigger turbo that feed into it , taking alot of stress off it , and putting it back with in it's operating limits .

the question is , what would make a good big turbo to pair up with the k24 ?
would something like a k26 be large enough ?
