Hi crew,
I am working towards a VNT install on my AAZ powered van. I have a sweet K03 but with 99.9% of my driving below 3500rpm I think a VNT15 would be a better fit. I only run 15lbs but having that 15lbs at a significantly lower rpm is the goal. Is it possible to mount a VNT15 core and compressor onto a K03 turbine end or is there a VNT15 model that will bolt directly to my mani? Keeping the wastegate appeals to me in case of boost spikes. I know whats required for the VNT control so that does not worry me for the project thanks to the Tintin/Libby/Jimfoo posts.
I've read through a few of the VNT threads but couldn't see this info...
the vnt's "turbine is what makes it a VNT.
Thanks Andrew, the info's much appreciated! It was the european vnt separate turbine housing i was missing.

I meant the turbine end of the vnt turbo fitting into the turbine housing of the k03. In hind sight if it was that easy everyone here would have done it!
I bought one with the separate mani on ebay last summer, didn't know it was anything special. I think I paid about $160. Someone must've snuck one into the US haha.
I wonder if there is a source over there for the turbine housings only.
Ya, the K03 does spool nice at low rpm & can hold 15psi as long as the aaz likes to rev, which isn't too high anyway. I think its as close to a lagless wastegated turbo as you can find. I like low end grunt over screaming rpm, guess thats why I dislike 2 stroke jimmys.
