Title: Turbo upgrade options mk3 TDI
Post by: MK3TDi1996 on 31 December 2009, 08:14
Hello folk,

After many moons scouring the internet for such an upgrade, i'm left pretty much stumped - anybody got any info on the turbos fitted to the mk3 ?  I know mine's a garrett but that's it! 

I also know uprated turbo's are available, but where from??

Thanks!

Send it to the dervdoctor or turbodynamics for a rebuild and hybrid advice

From memory, VW used Garret, KKK and IHI, non will be any better than standard as such.

Nope, I would say KKK would be the better built as used by Porsche etc, your going to need a Hybrid turbo really if your looking at uping the boost.

Hybrid is all good by me man, is that my only option when it comes to incresed performance?  Aside from as you say, the standard KKK turbo...

FMIC, decat, bigger T4 injectors head work

or fit a 130/150 PD engine.

I meant in terms of a turbo, type of turbo - sorry, i should have been more clear about that :)

I've fitted PP520 injector nozzles and recon'd the engine.  I've also fitted a G60 flywheel and clutch.  The FMIC and decat are in the pipeline (excuse the pun) - I intend to fit an intercooler from a Megane DCI as per earlier adive (feel free to say if anyone knows any other FMIC options).

With regards to the decat, i've got an old scorpion box kicking about so want to run a straigh pipe from the decat to that. (possible resonance issues?)

Thanks
