Ford Capri help

[AlexIT]

Hi everyone!

A friend of mine in Germany is trying to put back together a 1983 Ford Capri 2.3.
He's looking for the original Turbo and according to his info it should be a KKK 3LD 305/13.
I've tried to look in Google but the only result for it seems to be a Turbo unit for a Cummins engine...

So can anyone give us a tip where to look for a used/old/refurbished/non-working one and if the designation is correct?

I actually don't even know if this model has been sold in the UK...

Any help would be really appreciated

EDIT: He just explained me that the Turbo was retrofitted... so... any idea about where to check the designation of that Turbo...

If it was a retrofit, it's quite possible it was originally meant for a different engine, so the code could well be correct.

Thanks, I gave him all the infos.

Did your friend find it?
I don't speak German, so the mentioned source is not for me.
Can anyone recommend another place?
