Different Turbo options
Hi folks.
What can i install in place of my damaged TD04HL-13G turbo unit for my 1996 Volvo 855 AWD 193bhp car (B5254T Engine)? What other options are there for me? currently taking it out of the car and wondering if i should have it rebuilt or go for something more interesting? Cheers Bren

You can replace it with any turbo
If you want a straight swap look for other Volvo turbos, just has to have the same exhaust housing, straight flange, conical flange or angled flange I wouldn't go overboard on the size, a 15g or 16t at most |

when you say "any turbo" does that mean if i have (which i have sitting in the garage) a KO3s Turbo from an Volkswagen, that it should work, if it fits? Curious - as it allows upto 260bhp when remapped... could be a cost saving venture if so.. bren

Yes, any turbo at all will fit
Whether it is suitable for your engine is another matter It may also require a lot of custom fabrication It would be much more sensible to go with a Volvo turbo. I am 99% sure you need a straight flange turbo, I would suggest a 15g or 16t Make sure you get new copper washers for the banjo bolts and a new oil return seal (possibly new oil return pipe) I would also service the prop and transfer box while you are in that area |
