Post by: macka on June 13, 2010, 09:23:48 pm: the vj11 is outt of a suby I am guessing? Its not really a diesel set up, more for 1.8 gasser. I'd look for a better fit for the 1.9 like a K24.

the vj11 is just not a great turbo. The vj26 is used on the isuzu 4x4 diesel engine and gassers use them to hit the 350 hp range. They are watercooled turbos which has its good points and bad points.
