Hello Steve
New and cheap suggests ebay?
Not all is what it seems, or do you have a good luck tale?

Probably nothing like but I used to have a Blitz kkk t3/t4 about 4 years ago and it went like stink, I was getting 285 bhp at 8 psi and managed to squeeze 315bhp at 11.5 psi,
it was pretty quiet until you hit about 4000rpm then all hell broke loose which was cool but she was a big boy for what it was.

hi
i'm not sure whether its usable to be honest,
the turbo itself is brand new and confirmed as a KKK,
but i have no idea what the compressor map would be and in that respect
it may not spool untill way up the rev range,
then again i could be wrong.
It was cheap enough so if i cant use it im sure i wont lose out,
anyway heres a couple of pics see what you think

cold side compressor inlet is 75mm
cold side outlet is 60mm
hot side T4 footprint to manifold
hot side to downpipe is 4 stud kkk 75mm inner 100mm outer
exhaust shell is 180mm
cold side shell is 180mm




The guys at work say it will be fine on a diesel bus lol

cheers

Think they could be right with the diesel angle. Might explain why it was cheap (limited application etc).

Having said that have seen quite a few people running holset diesel turbos on petrol cars and making impressive power.
