Hi all, looks like a good forum you have here. I have a question about my peugeot 306 diesel turbo (n-1996). After much difficulty, i found that my car had a KKK turbo (now blown). Is it possible to replace a KKK turbo with a GARRETT T2. Any advice or extra information would be greatly appreciated.

The turbos are interchangeable as long as you use the right steel pipe for your turbo, its best to swap the whole exhaust manifold too.

hi,
its a direct replacement as the guys have said. where are you getting the t2 from? KKK turbo is a better turbo if you want to raise the boost.
i reckon it would be easier to leave the t2 on the manifold and bolt it on whole and it will be easier than trying to unbolt it fom the manifold. the head bolts are alot easier than the manifold bolts!
