Need to find a new turbo

Rzzi · Post by **Rzzi** » 28 Aug 2015, 15:01

I need a new turbo for my 2000Volvo s70 glt se. I can't seem to find one that will fit have the larger one. Could I upgrade to a different turbo? What can I do? Do I need to buy that turbo or can I get a bigger one? I'm new to this so please be respectful

On a GLT chances are you have a 13G or a 13T. You can bump that up to a 15G (T) or a 16G (T) but it really needs a tune to get much more out of it than the stock 13. The only difference between the T and the G is the angle of the exhaust flange so you need to get whatever matches your exhaust system.

So where can I find one is the next question

Pretty much any junk yard but try to find one that doesn't have much end play on the impeller shaft. Any 850 Turbo with a 2.3 or another 70 series that has a 2.3 liter engine will have the bigger turbo. eBay or even Craigslist is another option.
