Garrett t2 turbo, oil cooled. Off unknown vehicle, possibly diesel. Similar size to a r5gtt std t2. Bought this for the van but didn't use it as i wanted more power, so went for a bigger turbo. Appears to be in good nick, no play in the shaft & compressor wheel blades in good nick, just a little bit dirty. As i haven't tested it ill have to say for spares though. £40 ono, collection locally preferred as postage will be pretty expensive due to weight, but will post at buyers cost (£15ish). Can list on ebay if needs be for security, i have 320 positive feedback.

Small update... Just had a set of genuine clio williams 15x7j speedline alloys blasted/powdercoated anthracite at romax so i can take the turbines off for winter. Picked them up cheap'ish, Half polished/corroded alloy, paint flaking, super bald/slashed tyres, all were unkerbed/straight though. Before pics... After pics.... Quite pleased with them. Wasn't 100% whether the shape of the alloys would suit the van but imo they look good. Nice & low maintenance compared to polishing the outer lip on the turbines every week to stop corrosion. Fitted 195/45/15 toyo proxes 4rf, cheap enough for full set new off ebay. Seem pretty good now there scrubbed in a bit. Only need a new set of centre caps to finish them off, will have to wait considering the price £16 ish each!

Would be rude not to slot a 20vt in there

They probably just need the insides of the rim cleaning up, get them shotblasted & powdercoated.

Possibly mate, haven't been down avon for a while need to get down there at some point. Might give it a run down santa pod on sat night special this month before i pull the engine out to fit a hotter cam in it.
Conrad its lowered on shocks/springs at the front, Torsion bar rear. Could be a lot lower than it is but i like the speed bump friendly height it is now. Front is -30mm & rear is -80 iirc. Still quite useable as a van, ive used it for boot sales & picking stuff up!

Corrado looks mint, nice choice of wheels.
Is that old rolling road pic at motorscope, back in the days of the shady old rr?

Might just be the 50 profile tyres then mate, they look really small compared to the standard 195/55/13.

The front doesn't look very low for -50, are you sure there not -35? My gtt on -50mm apex springs/std shocks back in the day On coilovers, looks good but affects cornering when there lowered to the weeds..

Very cool. Leave the outside 'as is' & drop a c20 let in. I wanted to do this many years ago but unfortunately insurance was too much at the time & ran out of money.

Nice project. Haven't seen one of these since i was a kid. Tidy bodywork, usual lowered & rims will look ace.

Looks ace, bet its loads of fun on the road. Shame the 'cooler can't be hidden behind the bumper, but if needs must!

Slip a 1.7 480t lump in, easy conversion, can make good power with bolt on mods, strong & reliable engine too.
