Got a 300Tdi engine in your Defender, Discovery or Range Rover and want to get more from it? A variable nozzle turbo could be just the thing. It'll give you much smoother torque from lower down in the rev range.
Here we're fitting one of Motor and Diesel Engineering (Anglia) Ltd's Turbo Power Improvement kits (www.mdengineering.co.uk).
We featured the fitting in the Spring 2022 issue of Land Rover Owner International magazine.

Why wouldnt you pressure wash the engine or even just the area that you are working on before doing this? Makes me cringe to see you working on the oil feed pipe when its surrounded by nasty looking crud...

Mikeaubert, I would aggree with you, plus I was always taught when working on engines was to grease all threads and gaskets with either copper slip or moly slip. Obviously training of apprentices is to the highest standards of yesteryear.

This why I end up having to do my own maintenance and fitting, because all the 'pros' can't be bothered to grease the threads when reassembling.

Spread to mechanics or owners who fitted VNT turbos to Tdis and there are very high numbers who regret it. The vanes tend to seize and then strangle the exhaust. A lot of those owners subsequently return to standard turbos. I have no idea what proportion of VNT owners have this happen (it could be a minority), but I have read numerous cases on forums and seen several mentions of it on KZfaq. I thought it was tempting until I saw this widespread issue. I think the electronically controlled VNTs have reduced susceptibility because they get exercised by the ECU in a cleaning sweep, like the Puma’s EGR valve. Who did the filming? Focusing on the face while the mechanic is attempting to show where to cut the rubber hose or exhaust and several other bits, filming the wing top when the assembly is being fitted to the head and numerous other lapses. It’s meant to be a technical instruction, not an evening chat show.

I have contacted my local turbo specialist. According to them, the VNT will not work with the 300tdi since it has no system to control the variable nozzle. How was this issue adressed in your installation?

Fairly sure it is the same size, just the variable nature gives greater low-down boost. And it's a Mahle turbo.

@@adamfelkey8451 We haven't done many miles on the AlliSport kit, so can't really comment on that. As far as I remember, the AlliSport one is a straight turbo replacement, so it is better if you have to retain EGR and catalytic converter for emissions rules. I have found that the engine does run cleaner (based on MoT emissions results) with the new turbo.

Howzit bro ,the way you controlling that turbo is totally wrong and extremely bad for the engine especially on vnt ,what you need is a manual vnt/vgt boost controller from Go Fast Bits .im running on my 98 freelander 1 and works like a dream ,it works of vacuum and it basically replaces you factory solenoid for the car .You'll thank me later !

Just buy a 25 year old LANDCRUISER 4.2 TD It will do 25 mpg, up & down a hill , towing 3 tonnes or just cruising. Also runs great on Bio Diesel no ajustment needed.£1 per litre. Driving in luxury, not a tractor. Past 8 years of ownership & 200k on the clock, dream to own. Need to stop bragging now. Enjoy life...

To be fair, the 300Tdi isn't bad, tows 3 tons downhill easily (you just go slower in the ups!) and will run on biodiesel and straight vegetable oil without adjustment, and does about the same mpg with a trailer on the back. But in no way is a classic Defender luxurious!
