Hi is it possible to convert a 91 plate transit 120, 2.5d to add a turbo if so what would i need to do to convert it .

Also i have a slight judder from the steering wheel , when braking it has an advisory about the disc's being slightly worn, is this the cause and should i replace them thanks for any help

Dont know about the turbo


However a juddering steering wheel, when braking at speed, is usually the sign of warped brake discs, and yes u should replace them if this is the cause

Yes, it's possible; I did one on a 2.5 Luton many years ago. You'll need a complete turbo engine with everything on it; plus all the odd bits like the front exhaust etc. There's some rewiring necessary; but it's not too complex.

Try and find a complete van that someone's breaking and then you won't be stuck for any of those awkward little bits that you'll inevitably find you need.
