Hi!
I'm rebuilding a 2.5 TD engine with almost everything brand new. But I'm looking for a bigger turbo. Is there any turbo that fits right on the stock manifold ?
I'm having a go on fmic and new exhaust as well.
I've heard rumors that the E39 -01 530d turbo fits bolt on... is this true ?
Thanks for the help :)

Sorry, not sure.
As the same engine is used in Range Rovers and BMW 525TDS, it may be worth asking owners on those sites if nobody here knows :-/

Thanks for the answer.
For a few hours hard googling, looking at flow charts, adapter sized eg.. I can confirm that the 530d turbo is bolt on, exept for the oil tubes eg.. I'm going to test one to check out what it will do for my omega..
