Turbo Gang...A PICTORIAL Of Stock 3LDZ versus K27-7200

[slow&rusty]

Well I figured this might by a worthy post, I took some pics of my stock 3LDZ turbo compared to my new K27-7200 today.

Both turbos side by side at first glance look almost identical but when you look at the housings closer you can see why the K27-7200 flows more cfm than the 3LDZ

You can see the compressor side is significantly larger on the K27-7200 than the stock 3LDZ and the turbine housing is larger through its entire diameter. I have written down widths in mm as a reference.

Mounting the K27 will be easy and will require that I take a hack-saw to the pipe that connects the turbo to the IC and then use a silicone 2" coupling and two T-Bar clamps.

Notice the difference in widths here written with a Sharpie and in millimeters, 3LDZ on left, K27-7200 on the right:






Hope that helps anyone for future and a good reference.
