Holset VGT Turbocharger HE531VE
This is a slightly used Holset VGT Turbocharger, model: HE531VE. This turbo is in excellent shape, no issues to report. All the wiring and everything is still intact. Extremely high tech turbo $250 OBO! Normally for high HP and diesel engines, the VGT turbo can be programmed to adjust for most any applications!
Wikipedia reference:
"VGT or Variable geometry turbochargers are a family of turbochargers, usually designed to allow the effective aspect ratio (sometimes called A/R Ratio) of the turbo to be altered as conditions change. This is done because optimum aspect ratio at low engine speeds is very different from that at high engine speeds. If the aspect ratio is too large, the turbo will fail to create boost at low speeds; if the aspect ratio is too small, the turbo will choke the engine at high speeds, leading to high exhaust manifold pressures, high pumping losses, and ultimately lower power output. By altering the geometry of the turbine housing as the engine accelerates, the turbo's aspect ratio can be maintained at its optimum. Because of this, VGTs have a minimal amount of lag, have a low boost threshold, and are very efficient at higher engine speeds. In many configurations, VGTs do not even require a wastegate; however, this depends on whether the fully open position is sufficiently open to allow boost to be controlled to the desired level at all times. Some VGT implementations have been known to over-boost if a wastegate is not fitted."
