Hey Guys, Sorry it took me so long to get back on and respond. Been a crazy day, However thanks for all your response's. Well in the minimal time I had to do some research on the turbo, I figured out that I believe the D13's were set up with HE431VE's. Difference is in pressure's, 19 for the V, 29 in the VE. The V Was offered in the Cummins, and VE in Volvo's. Same with the 431, 531, and 551. All VE were in Volvo’s. I know its a far fetched idea, but i really am liking my Volvo and would like to dress it up with some power adders other than tuning, being that the 431 is a great turbo with much potential. Is it to out of the idea to up it to a 531, 551 which i believe are found on the D16. Could you swap the Exhaust mani, Intake mani, and injectors with a tune and a k&n swap in filter and awaken some crazy unnatural D13 beast.

I'm sure you could run a 551 then. The Dodge pickup guys have already done this and the vane actuator works perfect.

The biggest thing is knowing you can use a 551 or 431 instead of buying a Volvo painted green turbo for 3-4x the cost !!!

PDQ performance. The Blixxton 200 will also work on D13 motors. That is why I havent gotten rid of mine yet. (In case I make the jump from d12 to d13) I did a tune on my d12 on the computer itself so I am not using it anymore.
