After reading a few links about these from here on the forum, I decided to take a cruise around the internet to find some more info. It seams that Garrett made a bunch of these for Dodge but Dodge's car did not do well so there was an overabundance of these turbo's avail. It appeared that Garrett was selling them cheaply. Specificly the VNT 25. Does anyone here know anything about this? Have any good leads on them? If so what do you think about them on the vw diesel? I have seen that Andrew has a nice new functional setup with a VNT 15.

i doubt the dodge vnt's would be useful on aa diesel though... the a/r would be made for top end power...
named tintin was the pioneer of the accelerator actuated vnt turbo... and yes andrew made a nice system using the same concept and was very pleased with it!
if you read jake's thread about putting a VNT on a rabbit, he was getting boost from just blipping the throttle... those turbo's spool up really damn quick!!

i have a internet-friend he have a gt1749v on a 1400TD IDI (not a vw as well) he was controlling it with electronics, it could make 1bar(+-14psi) on idle.
early years the turbo's were called vnt, now its by example gt1749v, the v stands for vnt. i also think the gt versions are better than the old T versions, thats one of the reasons why i like vnt turbos, GT-gasser turbos are expensive, but if you search good you can find a GT-VNT pretty cheap.

Must be a high idle. My GT1749V on a 1.9 doesn't make any noticeable boost at idle, but it does climb rapidly with a little throttle. In fact, I can get it to surge sitting in the garage just playing with it.

The VNT25 that was on the shelby was sized differnt then todays vnt's as it was still based on the old garret sizing of t3, t4 ect... It is not even close to the same size as the now known VNT25. VNTxx as we call it now is a slang that was adopted first by tdiclub, and then spread everywhere as easy of use in discribing the turbo. In fact though a VNT17 as we call it can mean a big verity of turbo's Ie GT1749v, GT1752v, GT1744v ect... The v at the end infact tells us that it is varrible vane, the rest of the numbers tell us the size of the turbo as according to garrett sizing standerds for GT seires turbo's.
So what does this mean to you? The VNT25 off the dodge cars is a lousy fit to our motor's and you should look elsewhere. :wink:

Where would you find a description of: GT1749v, GT1752v, GT1744v and the differences between each digit?

Well, the 49 , 44 or 52 are the A/R of the compressor. I did have a link to a good foreign page with maps, but I can't find it now.

I know you know your stuff, but 14psi at idle sounds like a load of you-know-what to me. That high of a pressure ratio at such a low airflow would surge like a mother. There isn't enough energy in the exhaust at idle to make that much boost anyways.
Even at 1000rpm idle and ideal conditions, I can barely get the boost gauge a hair off it's 0 stop. Even loaded I can't make more than 10psi below 1500rpm without major surging.

please, if you find any vnt turbo maps, post them here
@OM617: i cant say this was under load or not, all i know is he said to me it was able to make that pressure on idle, but he dont do that becouse problebly surge.

and that is with the vanes in the fully closed position???

I thought I remembered maps, but it just had this.

Yes. My setup has the vanes closed all the time except for maximum boost.

One day I'll have to learn how to read these damn turbo maps :?
