Default VF48 on GC8

Morning All

I've been doing a bit of research into the compatibility of a VF48 bolting onto a MY98 GC8. I seem to come across a different answer on each article I read.. However, I have read that people have done it and it bolts on.. I'm hoping someone will have a definitive answer!

much appreciated!

VF48 should bolt onto the up-pipe, downpipe and fit the factory inlet fine, the flanges are all the same as most other VF turbos and the TD04.



The oil / water feed and drains might not fit straight up, so may require a little reshaping to work. If you can score the fittings with the turbo even better!

Pipe work is interchangeable

Turbo fits up to GC8 even tho the discharge is slightly off set to clear the fly by wire throttle

PS, I have one for sale is the forsale section
