86 1.6td question-help needed

Post by btrapr »

I have a 1986 1.6TD turbo set-up air side is marked Garrett and I see an M24 on it..Stock 1986 Hydraulic motor turbo off of original motor.... What turbo kit do I need---- Can't read the plate. $ bolt plate to exhaust- two bolts are closer together then the other two. 4 bolt flap on waste gate...

I also have another one I bought over a year ago...No plate..to read. Horn is marked Air Research and yet another M24... is this what they call a T3?

Both of these look pretty much the same bolt patterns and size___
what model do these sound like? t3?


I want to buy a kit and fix the slight wheel movement and the oil leak on the cold side...

THanks in advance

Not sure about getting a kit...

A place in Ohio does full rebuilds for a decent price and then you know it's all set... cleaned, balanced and whatnot.
