Vnt Turbo
Hi guys i have just purchased a Td5 90 that has been remapped at alive tuning
And has a full size intercooler and boost box
It already goes like the wind but i cant help but feel there is more to come Twisted Evil

So do any of you run a vnt turbo and if so how much better are they

And does if help with the low down power

Thanks Chris

I have an IRB one on my 110.

Yes, it makes the engine pull from lower RPM's much better. just like a modern diesel (which all seem to have VNTs or VGTs)

Top end power is no different, as the boost is still set at the same limits, but as said, it's just a smooth level of torque all the way.

definately worth it I think.




Edited 'coz I can't spell "worth"

The bit with no sun Laughing

Im not far from hatherleigh if you know were that is

Thanks for the replys if if helps to flatten out the torque curve and give the truck a little more at low revs then im thinking it will be on the cards pretty soon

Jim did you have it remapped as well or did you just swap out the turbo

Can you drop us an email, with the spec of the Defender you've bought, and details of it's previous owner. It might be that the tuning was restricted, and there is more locked away. Wink

Regards,
Gary.
