kinda new to this !! Some of you may recongnize my name ( since I put an OM617.952 into a 1994 Jeep Wrangler !!)
anyhow ; I have noticed oil drops where by exhaust pipe connects to the accordian adapter for the turbo ( since the engine sat for at least 3 years ( I thought this was a bad sign !)
SO ; I started looking for and at some different sites and reading ALL the posts on this site about puttin different turbos on the OM617 ; but I came across this site ( it appears to be a Garrett site ) and was wonderin if Forced Induction ; Winmutt ; or any one of ya'll with lots of knowledge can help me figure out which one would work best !!!
I ruptured a disc in my back in August and have not worked since ; so money is an issue !!
I just need some help ......
Well here is the site I found ......http://www.gcg.com.au/turbo/ProStore.aspx?PCID=12

If you're strapped for cash, the best option is to get a good used turbo and wait until you've got the spare funds. Using any non-stock turbo will require some fabrication and/or modification of parts.

That looks like a generic T3 Chinese clone junk turbo. If it doesn't have "Garrett" or "AirResearch" cast on the compressor housing, its fake.

So far I have been running one of these since July 1 with no problems. I wanted to make sure it worked without a lot of cash out of pocket. A turbonetics would be around $800.00 or more.
Yes it is Chinese and we could go round and round about the pros and cons, but the bottom line it is a well built unit. I completly diassembled and inspected the unit, it was just as good as the OEM as far as quality.
I will not try to convince you otherwise, but I have no regrets about the purchase.
If I could I would have spent the money on a turbonetics, but the ex-wife and kids get $2500.00 a month
so it is low budget for a long while.
1982 300SD: 304,xxx Super M-pump with 7.5mm elements, 265 Nozzles, GT35 water cooled turbo, M90 Supercharger, A/W Intercooler, Serpentine drive belt, 3" SS exhaust with Magnaflow muffler, 240 breather, AEM dry Filter, Manual Boost Control, EGT / Boost / EMP gauges....Moved on to other projects
1995 F-350 7.3L PSD: 230,xxx 6.0 IC, DIY Stage 1 Injectors, 17* hpop, Tony Wildman Chip, John Wood Trans, 6.4L TC, 3" down pipe, 4" straight exhaust, 310 HP on wheel dyno - 8500# dually: 0-60 in 6.98
Suzuki Samurai: VW 1.9L TD, Trackick doubler transfer case (made by me) 5.8:1 transfer case gears, YJ springs front and rear with rear missing links, wheel base extended 14", diffs welded, some day a VNT.

Is this what I am understanding ?????
