I have up for sale a true Garrett GT22V turbocharger, this turbo came stock on 2.7L Mercedes engines, used in vehicles such as the Sprinter van. After doing some research on this turbo I found out this is a popular upgrade for the VW TDI crowd since it is a VNT turbo. On the sprinter this turbo made 150HP and 300ft/lbs of torque(not surprising, diesels dont make much HP, but a ton of torque) this turbo is also used on an Audi and makes 300HP in that application(that's on a gas engine, not sure if the audi version is any different) my guess judgig by the size is that on a gas engine this turbo would be ideal for engines making in the range of 220-270HP. This turbo has no shaft play and the shaft spins freely, its in good shape, but I got it in trade for some work I did on a friends car, so I cant tell you how many miles are on it...no rebuild needed on this turbo, its in great shape. This would be an awesome turbo with a correct VNT controller setup on a 1.8L engine, almost instant spool with pretty good power capability due to the VNT. You can reach me most times at 615-569-7286 or email me at wicked93gs@yahoo.com
