I have a Ibiza FR TDI and have managed to get myself a very cheap vnt 17 GT1749VB turbo (used on the 150 PD MK4 golf). Is there any decent companys around that would hybrid it for a good price as i dont want to do it myself, would rather a specialist company do it. Cheers

you already got a VNT17 on your 130,,, the one on the 150 is a bit stronger but if I was lookin for a hybrid I'd get something a lil bit bigger like a 20,,, there's been more than one example in here and they went very good lag-wise.

It depends...most bezzers TDI130 have KKK units instead of VNT1749VA units (like all other VAG PD TDI130). The KKK are deffo weaker and way more prone to failure...
Also have in mind that the standard (smallish) IC is a weak link in the Beezers - fortunately that can be quite easly fixed with a plug&play Ibiza Cupra TDI unit.

I know of some british +220bhp G4 TDI150's running turbo dynamics hybrid VNT1749VB units, with excelent low revs torque and quick spool-up. That could be a good option, but it ain't cheap at all...

True, I always think all tdi's come with the garrett's but some mk4 beezas 130 have the kkk's,,, :(

Being from lisbon I think you might want to contact paulo [aka prc on here] from powerespeed [if you don't know him already],,, their site is offline and he's not here anymore since a long time but you might drop him a pm, he can surely point you in the right direction since he had his 150 toledo hybridized in lisbon and so did many of his friends with mad tdi's in portugal.

Hi, yes I know Paulo (prc). Thanks for the advice but there's no shortage of other TDI "wizards" around here in good old little Portugal.. :D
The guy (personal friend) that has remaped my mkIV owns one of the most reputable TDI tuning companies around here (PKE - www.pke.pt) has recently prepared a +270bhp Beezer TDI130 - so no inspiration needed. :)

cheers

I have got a FMIC and uprated clutch friction disc from allards, just wanting to get the most out of the turbo and see if any specialist companys would hybrid it as i got the PD 150 turbo for nothing

Just like I suggested before....Turbo dynamics will hybrid that turbo with excelent, proven and guaranteed results (+220bhp possible). Shame about the price...but you can't have it all I guess...
