my friend has a cupra with an ihi turbo conversion and needs a new actuator just wondering what an ihi turbo is or if that just means a hybrid conversion has been done on a standard K03 turbo thanks

 

[dave_ph]

an ihi turbo is a bigger turbo than the ko3, not a hybrid

ihi are found on many cars. you will need to find out what ihi it is. i have a vf23 which is an ihi and a vf28, so without knowing its a bit of a guess. both these turbos were off scoobies

so do i go for the ibiza mrk 3 actuator or do i find the turbos number and get an actuator to match that turbo? thanks for the help

 

[ibizacupra]

what makes you think it needs a new actuator? does it not open at all when pressuring? (ie diaphragm leak)

to be honest i dont know why he just asked me to get him a price for one. i think he is changing over some of the older parts and uprating some. i was hoping forge could have told me what kind of actuator he needs but nobody can give me a definate answer if they are turbo specific or car specific

 

[mr_D]

if its an ihi then you need to find out what turbo it is. will say on the turbo. if he is running a standard turbo then i will have a chat and see if i can get you a price as my mate has contacts in scooby world

thanks going to have a look tonight, someone on this site used to own the car and built it but it was built in england and has been passed around a few of my mates up here so never managed to track down who used to own it, its an 02 plate imperial blue done up to look like an r with the brake conversion and ihi stage 3 upgrade

Sounds like it could be either Dickos or Shantys old one. The actuator is turbo specific not car specific. I have an IHI vf34 actuator spare if you need one. If it was a jabba conversion it should say in the paperwork what turbo it was or what stage and jabba should be able to tell you what turbo was fitted.

 

[Tagsy87]

i have found it on here it was a guy named sps he had one of the first jabba ihis done

just a quick update on the problem it appears a full new vf23 turbo is needed so on the lookout for one just now
