Aiight, lets see if this one will get an answer. <BR>I recently bought a Garret TB0309 turbo from a diesel engine (I didn't realize it was a diesel when I bought it
) I was just wondering if it would work on a gasoline engine (not my MX-3). Any help would work. thanks

A turbo doesn't know if the engine is gasoline or diesel but the waste gate (if it has an integral waste gate) setting might be a little high for gas.

I'm thinking that it might be to big for your 1.8 engine.....
