Turbo upgrade options mk3 TDI
« 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!

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.

FMIC, decat, bigger T4 injectors head work

or fit a 130/150 PD engine.
