Have you checked the valve clearances lately?

Another question if some one could advise me, I have been offered the duratorq turbo from a 2.4l 2000-6 Will this fit the manifold for the td 2.5 engine or will the duratorq manifold fit the banana engine with no adaption would there be any other issues using this unit?

Thanks

Thanks robbie for that advice. I think I will keep it simple and keep with the original advice for the mk4 - turbo kit, thanks

I have just found a turbo with manifold. Unfortunately the owner can't tell me what transit it was from the ref number printed on it is DUCM 033 131-13200 49131-58460 A1517 MG035. Would anyone be able to identify if this would suitable for a banana engine 1995 from a 190l panel van. Reg M64PJH? Also if anyone knows anything about this reg vehicle it would be great to know as I am due to go and collect it next week and it would be great to confirm if it is a legitimate motor.
Thanks to anyone who can help
