Dzowani Posted November 23, 2017 Share Posted November 23, 2017 Can anybody tell me if those are UK spec turbos? If they are what do i check when buying them If they are any good. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karl M N Posted November 23, 2017 Share Posted November 23, 2017 Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but the uk spec turbos have steel turbines which the j specs dont, so I do believe they are. Don't just take my word for it though I'll feel bad if I'm wrong and you buy them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bignum Posted November 23, 2017 Share Posted November 23, 2017 Certainly look rusty enough to be uk`s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOB B Posted November 23, 2017 Share Posted November 23, 2017 (edited) check where the set connects to the exhaust manifold, (two places, one for each turbo) on a J spec they connect with three nuts/bolts, but on UK's they connect with four nuts/bolts. Iv'e just seen the second pic and it looks like the set comes already connected to the exhaust manifold, so you should see if its 3 or 4 bolt.

Swampy442 Posted November 23, 2017 Share Posted November 23, 2017 They look like UK turbos but can't 100% tell as the pics are so bad, UK specs use 4 bolts to attach to the manifold while J specs use 3. They do look in a shit state though lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
