VDO turbo boost sender

Any ideas where I can get a VDO 0-2 bar turbo boost sender for my Mermaid engine? Also need a new adapter plug to screw it into the manifold.

Would it be the same one as on the 7.5 tonne truck the mermaid originally came from? An Iveco/Ford truck dealer would be a possible solution and probably cheaper than a marine dealer.

these 4 cyl engines were never made from ford with a turbo. the company that supplies parts for these engines who are the main distributors are DALTON POWER in the midlands. However a VDO agent will be cheaper. approx £37 last time I looked!

Igot a lift pump for our one today from colin at Freedom Marine Ltd(folkstone,Kent)
He rebuilds mainly ford engines(saw a couple of new diesels that they put in the escort now and they had been marinised,looked very nice and tidy)
give him a bell he might be able to help.
