Hey all, well as the title suggests, i am wanting to do a turbo conversion on my N/A VL. I have a T04 turboand am wandering if there are any other modifications that i'd have to do for this conversion as compared to fitting a T03 turbo??

Possibly a custom exhaust manifold and external wastegate for the T04. You'll also need to modify your series 1 block or just use a series 2 block to start with. vl turbo injectors,vlt ecu, cam, fuel pump, fuel pressure reg, oil pump etc. Diff, gearbox, brakes. Cheers Ollie.

oil/water return lines to block.. you'll have to drill and tap holes for either of those from ur turbo that u'll need to use. series 2 blocks already have the necessary inlets/outlets there. anyone correct me if im wrong. Ollie
