First to the questions:
Does anyone know what the two brass bolt sites are for on the top side of the engine..here they are noted with a big red >


Next is who manufactures the turbo... in this picture there is a 'K' inside a triangle with a 'Made in Germany'.. so who makes the turbo?


And now to an answer.. saw this sticker on the door end>>


After placing a mirror on the sticker I could read "WWW.TEPHSEAL.COM' ..well I knew I did not get that paint sealant crap so did the GOOGLE thing. This is a company that does new car prep (aka "detailing") for dealerships so that dealers do not have to have paid staff on board to do this... actually a very good business alternative. Here is their web site to see a market niche>>

http://www.tephseal.com/

Point being that for a new car delivery I give them a 85 (think college test scores) which means B- and for me hyper type A etc that is most excellent...most I usually give is C to a C-----

That is the enlightenment for tonight

You got one of the rare kosher turbos. Don't drive it on Saturdays! L'Chaim!

 

3 K's as in model K03 by Borg Warner

 

The K used to stand for Kühnle, Kopp & Kausc but they have been bought out and broken up. The automotive turbo division is now owned by Borg Warner who bought it from Penske. See http://www.turbodriven.com/en/company/default.aspx

 

Melo - loving your attention to detail. Hyper type A, indeed!

 

Thanks for the answers... and gnatster thanks for the link...excellent read.. and here is the turbo plate in case anyone wants the translator for what the plate nomenclature is>>>
