The KKK K24 came on all the TD cars in the 80's. The eco was the one that got the small KKK K14, but other than that all the stock TD cars came with the K24 or the Garret T3 of the same size.
So its a good turbo worth rebuilding or should i get a k04?
I like my K24 plenty. It's a big honking turbo that responds really well to an intercooler and well above 'factory' boost levels.
It's all about what's important to you. If you're cool with letting your engine wind up a bit before it has full power it's a great way to go. You can get kits for it from gpopshop.com and there's a howto for rebuilding a K24 hanging out around here somewhere. It's a far better bet getting it rebuilt than a dodgy eBay turbo for sure.
So i finally got around to pulling the turbo off the car and to my surprise the turbo that was on the car was a K24 triple K turbo, ive never heard of a k24 turbo, is it any good and is it worth rebuilding?
oh yea, definitely worth it if its not a wasted core..
RoR your using a gasser intake setup?
RoR your using a gasser intake setup?
yea, with a flipped exhaust manifold and audi 2.0TD K24 turbo..
its not on there right this second, but it will be used again, unless i build a passenger performance style intake for it in the near future..
I rebuilt mine
I pulled the compressor wheels off the intake
Sent it to g pop
It's about half the dollars if you rebuild yourself
They will supply all the parts
Balance it for you
Then you re assemble it
Just take it apart carefully
The aluminum turbine wheel needs to be warmed with a propane torch to expand slightly
Then it lifts off
The nut maybe left hand thread
Call g pop
They explained or thoroughly to me
I don't see how they made money off me
I called them so many times
