Difference between High pressure and low pressure Turbo

I know my car isnt pulling as it should or other T-5's I've ridden ok most were manual and mine is automatic. At least your research and mine agree

You have to fix it and do it now. Don't eat or sleep. Keep testing and repairing until you have the maximum power output. If you have to - quit your job - they will understand. Never give up modding or improving a cars performance - Never !!!

Wow - I've had a lot of coffee today !!!

Whew - Sorry about that - Repair your car at your liesure or as you see fit.

Far too many blue Smarties or Sunny D me thinks !! I don't think my job would notice if I quit I still don't know who I work for I havent been to my contracted office once in 4 years it seems I just do stuff then get paid for doing it.

Back to the original question without getting side tracked by wikiepedia any idea how I know which type of Turbo I might have or even easier where is the T/C ID plate

[JDS60R]

usually on the compressor (intake side ) for quickest check.

So many get swapped I always just check the plate

[charlyW]

Where is the ID Plate and is it easy to see from above or is it buried

[JDS60R]

usually on the compressor side

never easy to see

You're right totally invisible !!! Replaced all the vacuum hoses onto and off the Turbocharger with blue silicone took the car for a 40 mile drive, ok didnt reset the fuel trim, cars Boost gauge isn't swinging past 3/4.

30-60 needle half way
60-90 needle before 3/4 legal speed on motorways is 70 overtaking will get away with 85 ish [not recommended]
Eco mode is sluggish
Sport mode is quicker
PCV all replaced including throttle, manifold gaskets, airfilter

How do I now test the Turbocharger for correct functionwithout a vacuum gauge until I can get to the ID plate to see exactly what Turbocharger I have, it should be a TD04-15G
