Turbo Frustration...

Post by Nomad_69er »

This is just an msg to vent my anger! :cry:
I pulled out my old blown VJ14 turbo and was about to throw in my newer VJ11...then I had the horror of realizing that the elbow off the old turbo will not fit the new turbo!!! ARGH!! This damn car will never run properly!! I don't suppose anyone has that elbow that they would be willing to sell for me for a reasonable price? :D Anyways, I'll keep everyone updated.

You are indeed correct, the VJ-11 turbo uses a different elbow than the VJ-14 even thought it looks close. I have one here that I can sell you since I upgraded to a custom 2.5" one instead of the stock one.

Let me know if you are interested.

The exhaust housings are both the same. Seperate the exhaust housing from the VJ11 and connect it too the exhaust housing of the VJ14.

Thanks for all the help guys but I have good news! The person that sold me the turbo forgot to mention to me that he had the elbow...so I went to his house yesterday and picked it up!! :D :D :D
