Hi to all . I recently bought a boat with KAD32P (2003) engine. I consider it an excellent engine, but about 1 month ago I noticed that oil was falling through the aftercooler. The turbo was letting oil pass. I disassembled the turbo to fix it and what my amazement when I noticed that the turbo that was mounted there was not for a KAD32P (170hp) but for a KAMD32 (156HP) !!!!
I do not find anywhere, what is the exact brand and reference of the turbo for the KAD32P . Can anyone help me? thank you so much for the help you can give me.

Hi. I don’t know for certain. But almost sure that they may use the same turbo. Main difference between the two engines you mention, are that the later kad32 engine has a supercharger to help low down power and produces more peak power early on.
