I've been reading up about VGT/VNT turbos, and apart from the vanes sticking they seem a very good idea - obviously why in a modern TDI you hear them spool up as soon as they pull away.

I always feel my D24T is starved of air a bit at low revs, and would be a bit more efficient with a few psi at 1500-ish revs.

Apart from the vacuum device to switch the turbo from "small to large", would it be easy to fit one to a D24T? Maybe from a VW TDi (PD 130)? Or would the flanges on the turbo all need modification?
