Hello.

I recently wanted to order a large battery box (including small items) for my AFN from Schlütter because I was finally fed up with the VTG issues. But they don't sell them anymore! According to the very helpful information I received from that company, Garrett no longer sells spare parts through their distributors (at least not to end customers), and therefore, according to their information, there is no longer a way for private individuals to obtain spare parts.
Do you perhaps know more about it, or where one might still be able to get a large battery container, because I'm not satisfied with the information I've received. If necessary, I will build the container myself icon_lol.gif.

Does anyone have any advice, or am I the only one who is still experiencing this problem icon_sad.gif?

He's probably not the only one, but if Garret stops supplying the cans, that probably won't help you either...

Have you ever asked other charging service providers?

Then, the only option left is an online auction platform... Otherwise, you won't even be able to get a vacuum tube, even if you offer money and kind words. I'm glad I still have one in stock for myself. icon_lol.gif

I highly doubt that the DIY approach will work.


Good luck with your search and hopefully you find what you're looking for.

Best regards!

I haven't inquired further with other charger services because, according to Schlütter, this applies to ALL Garret distributors. However, it might still be worth trying.
A few days ago, I installed a turbocharger (LDA). Starting at 2100 RPM, the boost pressure suddenly drops to 0.7 bar and only increases to 0.9 bar around 2600 RPM (or later). This strongly suggests a sticking variable geometry turbocharger (VTG). I believe this would also explain my poor 0-100 km/h acceleration times.

@ Ulf:
I can send you photos of the installed LDA for the article if you would like.
