I added this turbo to my TDI 300 in South Africa. I can attest this mod is fantastic. Does all he says. Also fantastic service from the seller.

"Lado do coletor"... collector side.. beautiful. Greetings from Portugal 😉

Landrover is a real machine

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.

Lovely how to! Is this coincidentally the perfect conversion kit when you want to swap a 300 Disco engine into a One Ten?

gasket from Portugal, top quality gasket!! eheh greetings from Portugal

all good stuff fella ,i have 2 discos and a 90 with 300 tdi ,standard ,300s are unbustable ,they are all getting on a bit now thou , so start uping the tubo boost and the pump pin taper ,yes more power ,yes you are going to use it ,you may have other related problems ,head gasket, big ends ect i personly prefer the lazy no electronics reliable engine and just plod along ,even towing i find them fine ,theragain i dont thrash stuff and ime not in a hurry , so ya underpowered but unstressed

Shame the road test at the end goes blank. Exhaust note sounds good though.

How much would this upgrade cost.?cheers

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.

Very good video!!!!!🥰

Coolest guy.. smooth 💪🏻

Nice how to video Martin. I just need to find a half decent Defender to have crack!

How can I get this complete unite of this turbo upgrade. I badly want this

I have a 200tdi in my 1983 110 from a disco with the turbo underneath.Will this kit fit?

Cud u pls tell me that whats the number of this mahle turbo. One more that modern VNT turbos r controlled by fancy electronics. What abt this turbo..? I see the boost pressure pipe also connects to the VNT diaphragm. Is it not controlled by vaccum..?

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?

No copper grease on manifold studs? Are you sure you are a Land Rover driver? 😂

Did you opened the high pressure fuel pump?

VNTs are great, but how are you actuating it mechanically? Often they require computers/electronics to adjust the vanes. Cheers!

i would love to do this but I just haven't got 2 grand to spare....

Does anybody know, what turbo model that is? Thank you.

How how are we doing with green lane definitive map because it has to finalised and finished by 2026

The name of the parts, article numbers, manufacturer of the parts...?

What spec and brand of oil is in the 300TDi engine? Great vid anyway.

how much bigger is the turbo to the original? and what brand is the turbo thanks!

I hear on the forums " the vanes seize on these.. ..

hello, do you have a 300tdi automatic gearbox?

10:25 m1 garand

shame about the price of the kit cheaper to put a bmw engine in lol,bought a full x5 05 plate for a grand much better idea and cheaper

How much for this

Engil timen ke

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...
