where to buy aftermarket turbos?
I'v been reading up on some of these aftermarket turbos, like vgt or vnt turbos. Would a turbo off a cummins 5.9 or 6.7 work well on the 617? I havn't been able to find the jeep liberty turbo for sale anywhere, i got a buddy who works as a service writer at jeep and he said his price on a new one is like $830, and i dont really want to spend that much. Does anyone have any good links or places i should check for an aftermarket turbo? even for a sprinter or anything else that would be suitable for the 617? I'd like to get what i can while i have the money to do so right now. thanks- J

You have to be creative on the wording, but ebay usually has several.
The turbos go under several different names.

What is the number off both the liberty and sprinter turbo? Is the liberty turbo one of the best ones you can go with on the 617? What kinda gains could i expect from swapping turbos?
i appreciate all of the feedback

the 2056 is a bit on the small side, but it commonly goes as a jeep m53 turbo
M53 is the casting number on the side of the compressor housing, fyi

i dunno if that ebay link will work but theres an m53 on there but it looks like it has an electronic actuator. does the jeep liberty turbo have a manual actuator? im kinda leaning toward wanting the liberty turbo

That is a later model Sprinter GT2256v Turbo with an electronic actuator. The earlier version GT2256v (I believe Pre-2004) have vacuum actuators. All Liberty GT2056v have vacuum actuators.

which one of those turbos would be applicable? and what if the turbo doesnt have a wastegate? does that mean that whatever level of boost it puts out is basicly what you get or are stuck with?

VNT turbos don't use a wastegate.

The newer sprinter CDI's use them.

Search the STD forum (click my signature), there are several threads dedicated on how to control them.

the std forum huh... should i search syphillis or herpes... j/k i couldnt resist.. what aftermarket turbos bolt right up to the exhaust manifold if any? i remember reading a thread where sombody said theyre aftermarket turbo bolted right up to the stock manifold... the intake im not worried about just the exhaust, would be kinda nice to just bolt it right up.
