hay i have a mark 4 golf ,GT TDI ,originally 130 bhp , now 195 ,upgraded intercooler (front mount with all new fabricated pipes nd fittings... boostin at 2.1 bar ,,  turbo blew yesterday  ,
wud a 150 bhp turbo fit my car ?

Spiking at 31psi....holy sh!t! Was that an overboost due to a faulty part? I can't believe that's standard

haha dats wat every1 say ,til i show dem on the gauge , 2.1 bar every gear (six speed) around 40psi going threw the pipes , that y I couldn't use normal couplers , use hydrailic hosing for a lorry

Still doesn't seem right. If you can hold 31psi through the whole rev range in every gear, that's a car wrecker for sure

it puzzles every1 until you go for a spin in it , vtec eat ur heart ou  , stuck to the seat ....its being lik dat for four year , original turbo , so i dont mind getting new turbo now

I'd suggest a new map, possibly a little tamer one. 

You can get a miltek decat for example, which is 2.5" from the turbo to where it join the original exhaust which is 2.25" so you would need a reducer to fit it.

If you plan on changing injectors you might as well get some proper ones, ie bigger than the 150s! As it will be a costly job unless you can do it all your self!

And stop putting "Dat" instead of the word "That" as it makes you sound about 11 years old
