VGT, if you dont know what that means don't even think about buying that turbo. Unless your making some custom work, and actually are going to use VGT. Its used on new trucks, to help with emissions. Turbo supposed to spool quickly at low RPM by reducing exhaust A/R housing, and opening up the vanes/shutters at higher RPM to yeld an larger A/R housing or altering the angle at which exhaust gases hit the turbine wheel. But I'm not sure of that actual way they work. And its controlled by PWM from ECU through actuator depending on manifold pressure. But you would want large housing at high RPM and small housing at low RPM. But from cut away pics it looks like it changes angle.
So VGT would be useless, unless u could actually put it to work.
Go after something like HX35W or HY35W or never version HE351CW, or like HX40/HX35 hybrid.
Useless info FYI.And here is Holset VGT on Volvo diesel engine probably early D13 motor. Know Mack and Volvo trucks use them, I see them a lot at work. Last truck that broke down on the road due to bad turbo, thing the bill was like $4500. Know Volkswagen used/use them on their TDI diesels since back in 2003 or so. And Porsche think uses them on their Carrera from what I remember.
