If I was going to replace my stock ALH turbo...

Post by ricosuave »

What would I look for in an upgrade?

Also, has anyone got any pics of an ALH turbo and its innards at about 200K?

I bought a cheap used one, seems OK to me as far as the vanes, shaft, etc, but I wouldn't know what it should look like if it bit me!

PS, the turbo on my 200K ALH wagon is whining at low RPMs (1400-1900) and I am thinking about swapping it out for an upgrade or this used one when I clean the EGR and the intake manifold.

Thanks, all help appreciated!
