Excellent pics, especially the last one - always wondered how "variable nozzles" worked !

Wow.. :D
thanks for that :) - only 2 years too late tho.. ;)
(when i was at engineering college doing a nvq in motor vehicle, i did a presentation on turbochargers and how they work... if only id known about VNT turbos... i would have got better marks :) )

Thanks PRC, great stuff.

Moral of the story: give it a regular bootful to clean out the soot :D

Yeah, I would think giving it a good hammering once & a while will help keep the soot level down.
