Turbo and Superchip Question?

[HasH]

Hello, I have a 2006 Golf 2.0 TDI 140 GT and was wondering if i was to get a turbo off of a 2.0 TDI 170 GT and fitted it to mine, then remap it with a Bluefin or Chipped UK unit would it work and run ok? or would i need to go for a live remap?

For any upgraded turbo you would have to go for a "stage 3" map - ie either a custom map or a map that has already been developed for the upgraded turbo.

The turbo may fit, but would probably be better fitted with the manifold and downpipe off the 170 too - and then you would still have to delete the DPF.

Give R-Tech a call and see what they can do

I can put you in touch with someone who can supply and fit the correct hardware & remap for what you are looking for. I think you will need bigger injectors too, so it's best to get your research done before you decide on your next step.

He has done quite a few larger turbo upgrades and has just finished a 300+ bhp conversion on a 1.9tdi.

PM me if you want his details.

What's the hardware spec of that?

wonder if it smokes

What's the hardware spec of that? 

Pretty substantial - strengthened & coated pistons etc... with a huge custom scroll turbo (with variable vanes) - a K04 next to it looks like a toy! Custom manifold. Apparently the additional power comes from the injectors - they're the largest set possible for this engine and aren't even used by the VW cup racing teams (I think there's only 1 set in the UK). Started life as a 170tdi.

I would guess the best part of £10k including the labour!

crikey!!

Is that a VW engine then? 170bhp TDI  = 2.0

Oops, you're right, I think it is an early 2ltr engine - it's on a 55 plate A3
