blongo804 Posted June 10, 2010 Share Posted June 10, 2010 Hello everyone, I just recently purchased an '05 LGT 5EAT and it needs a new turbo for fact. I understand, stock, they have the VF40. I heard the 40's are known for failing and was pointed in the direction of the VF46. If I was to get the 46, would this be a direct bolt on replacement? If not, what extra parts will I need to fully swap it? Thanks in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blongo804 Posted June 11, 2010 Author Share Posted June 11, 2010 Thanks for both the replies! If I were to get the 46, will the car need to be tuned to the new turbo at all? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boostedsubbygt Posted June 11, 2010 Share Posted June 11, 2010 what about the vf 52 would they need more additional parts to work on our cars than the vf 46? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
