Yes mate, hence i kept hold of my 16v kit as a spare for my TDI wagon but decided if the clutch goes il get an upgrade instead as the engine power is going up anyway and the torque on these when tuned is renowned for killing clutches.

what sort of power can you get them up to mate? how much you planning on going to?

Well like anything engine it depends on how much you want to throw at but with the few bits and pieces ive accumulated im hoping for a jump from the stock 90bhp to roughly 140ish bhp and more torque than a standard VR6.
Start pushing any more fuel through the tiny standard turbo and it'll be smoking more than dungeness power station.
I'll see how that goes first then decide on whether I stick a larger VNT turbo on there or go straight for a PD130 conversion...funds permitting then you're talking over 300bhp with the right map and mods. :evil:

Whats fuel consumption like? I might be changing career soon and will loose the free diesel card :cry: so been looking at diesels lately but not sure what to get. But if I can have a 300bhp that returns good bhp then I now what I want  :evil:

Im getting about 520 ish miles to a tank at the moment but it desperately needs servicing and the thermostat changed. Once that's done and the chips are fitted im expecting at least 600.
Over on tdiclub website there are people boasting 8-900 mile range on certain biodiesels!!! :shocked:
I reckon even running big usable power on derv you can still get over 40mpg which aint to be frowned upon.
