Volvo 480 Club Europe

I have one (got a purple one as well somewhere) Part number 0 227 400 156, was going to stick it on ebay.

Open to an offer via pm

you'll also have to rotate the housings and make an actuator bracket. its a similar unit to mine. mine still has the .86 ex housing too, and not as laggy as you think, 5 psi at 3k and builds up to full boost by 4800. haz :) Full boost by 4800 revs is not laggy!!! :o :eek: Geez i complain at mine ha...

the R5 is a 1.4 and the 480 1.8 so more breathing.
test it i say.

No it wont, they are completely different on the exhaust housing of the turbo!

Nope samco dont make a kit, if you wanted a samco kit you need to pay for the initial tooling costs of making the kit.

It's not cheap and only cost effective if you have a group buy.

Recently done this for my car with coolant and boost hoses, came in at just under £400 with delivery and clips.

Its the guest accounts, whoever enabled it needs talking too

I'm now moderating a few forums and guests accounts are a no-no too easy to get crap posted.

Who's incharge now days?

I know

It's too small for my current car, can use a GT2871R or 3071R minimum else the turbo wil cause surging.

Be a cracking unit the 28R for the 1.7T if you got the cash to make it fit and get it remapped.

Scrubbing wont happed in you use 205 width tyres if you get a large J wheel and try and use 215 or 225 width tyres then your buggered.

I disagree with your original diagnosis ozturbo. More like you've got the 12v ignition and 12v live mixed up on the radio wiring. I.E you got the 12v live connected too the radio 12v ignition and vice versa So when you turn on the ignition the radio comes on but loses it memory when you turn it off ...

Ok cheers Jamo! Ill find out these details only if someone is interested then. Its a GT28R,the one which has an American funny nickname like the giant potato or similar! :lol: :? at GT28R is a roller bearing turbo and cost £1000 brand new in UK or $800 in america http://www.atpturbo.com/Merchant2/...

Is it a Garret GT28 or GT28R? The biggest problems you will have is adapting the oil and water lines to the turbo and you will need a custom downpipe to bolt on the GT28 The GT28R is a stonking turbo but cant do 460 bhp, more in the realms of 350, but it has a very low lag. :D Find out the AR of the...

It's cheaper to have a T2 rebuilt to whatever spec or you can buy it new from them, depends on your budger really. I'd recommend AET or TurboActive who did the original Hybrid. The turbo world has moved on a bit since i did mine with Garret BB turbos but install will be a bitch with those. I've just...

LOL i deleted those pics after some fist shaking from Lee

I'll have to dig them out again

What sub was it? out of interest?

Well well the fox is still alive.......... wanna fight?

BTDT fitted it, not worth it on the 480 T IMO
