What year is your car?

its a 1990 twin turbo manual buddy.............

As you look in the engine bay, to the left, small box with fins aprox 3" square, near the upper plenum/timing belt cover, under the plenum intake tubing.

I believe you can get to it by just taking the Turbo Hose (Left hand No/2 in the pic) off.

mine is dif to the 1 in the pic above. Mine is a flat black 1 like in the pic on the photobucket link above.

ah, so the question is, whats the dif between the 2and will the silver finned 1work on my car................??

So you are saying then that yours looks like this one...

 

Well that one is a series 2 PTU (NOT to be confused with a Series 2 Z32, as they are not related like that) It's very rare that one of these will suffer from the usual faults that befit the Series 1 PTU (ie; the silver 'Finned' version)

I believe that you can not retro-fit a Series 1 PTU onto a car that was factory fitted with a Series 2 PTU. This is because the plugs are different between the 2 different versions. Now you CAN fit a Series 2 PTU into a car that was factory fitted with a Series 1 PTU, because the new PTU comes with an adaptor loom section that will convert the older style plug couplers to the new type.

 

I hope that makes sense for you?
