Morning TBers.
I?m currently undergoing a +T conversion on my 1975 245DL, and have a few questions about the turbocharger components I?ve bought, and their compatibility with the B21 which I?m struggling to find via a search.
I bought a complete B230FT from a 1990 740 Turbo, which unbeknown to me has a Garrett (T3 by the looks of it) turbocharger rather than a TD04, which appears to have had the CBV removed, therefore running straight Air filter - MAF - Turbo inlet.
I?ve solved most of the compatibility issues (in my head at least) with the oil feed/drain, CPS and knock sensor, but have the following problems I?d like some advice on.
CBV
- Can the T3 be run safely without a CBV? It needs a re-build currently and I wonder if the lack of CBV caused it to fail.
- What does the Garret T3 external CBV set up look like, how is it plumbed in, and what parts would I need to fit one?
- Does anyone have these parts available?
Breather
- My B21 is an early type with a rocker breather only. Is this acceptable to use in a +T conversion by plumbing it into the intake, or do I need some form of block breathing for +T?
See pictures below for the turbocharger I have.
