I want to collect VNT info and experience in an effort to dispel the misinformation of these awesome turbos and preserve the dwindling use of VNT turbos.
Many VNT vehicles were originally purchased as collectors' items and were only driven sparingly. Sporadic use is likely the main cause of the vane sticking REPUTATION. If any car needed the carbon blown out, its the VNT!!! Those who regularly drive their VNT report few issues w/ the VNT.
I plan to try numerous upgrades and document my findings. I have read everything I could find pertaining to the VNT. I believe the Intercooler (IC) is the achilles heel of the VNT setup. The CSX-VNT has a very restrictive IC and the '90 VNT IC is even more restrictive. I theorize a decent FMIC will greatly reduce other VNT issues including boost creep plus allow an upgrade to VNT-28 or bigger.
I welcome all input!!
