Im getting my turbo upgraded next week to a hybrid by turbo dynamics. I am also getting a sachs clutch. I been told to expect around 215 to 220hp but if I get bigger injectors then can expect more. I have the 2.0tdi pd. I was told to use the 170 version injectors as my 140s aint good enough...

Please help me yesterday i replaced the the sparkplug with iridium plugs and i must have dispurbed something and now the car looses power and sounds very strange when you get near 1 bar boost :think: i replaced the vacuum valve and blow through it and it seemed to be working right to my...

Good evening! I have some questions, which is that the other day mount a pressure gauge to turbo my 1.8 20VT and gives me a pressure of 0.5 bar maintained. It also gives me a peak of 0.6 BAR and I wonder if these pressures are normal. When I start the engine vacuum to -0.6/-0.8 mark. Is...

Was just browsing other forums and came across a guy who has removed his turbo silencer ring :|. I drive a Leon FR 150 and just wondered what benefits if any this would have? It seems to be wuite big on trucks in the US and on Diesels especially. Any feedback would be great :) Thanks.

anyone got a clue what the part number is for the turbo heat shield surround ( the silver material thing with press studs ) mine is proper knackered..any help please..

i know it would be a lot easyer to buy a tdi but does anybody know if there is a turbo kit for the sdi or if a tuning garage would be able to put on a hybrid turbo iv looked on google but cant really find any info

Hello, my turbo is 6 years old... i really think turbo is still strong, but i have just remembered that years ago my engine stopped whistling... WHY ????

just fitted a new turbo on my car and now its making the same noise as the old turbo ( compressor wheel catching the inner inlet housing) so it looks like the turbo is not getting any oil and bearings have gone as it does not smoke atall but does not boost either. does anyone have any links...

my turbo oil seals seem to be buggered so looks like a new turbo. my question is if the garage i bought the car from does not cover this with warranty what is my best option for a turbo? i have a 2005 ibiza cupra, would a leon cupra r turbo fit with any benefits? anyone able to point me...

llo, recently i decided to service my 1.8T engine since i has hit 30,000miles... Since day one i installed the Stratmosphere Hyperboost HX valve. I stupidly also decided to give proper Maintenance to my valve, so i opened it, remove piston, o rings, spring and carefully and washed all the...

Hi guys, My brother has an S3 2.0tfsi. It is a standard car and has started to chatter when coming off the throttle instead of dumping air; sounds as if the DV is not operating and the air is being forced back through the turbo..not good! Is there any way to test the OEM dumpvalve on these...

Hi guys, I was thinking what I could do to make the exhaust a bit louder on my Cupra for the smallest outlay of cash as possible. I was going to get a Cat back but I decided I would try and remove the middle box from the standard exhaust system to see how it would sound. So I took the car to...

hi all, iv got a cupra tdi and i noticed today that my car went over 70,000 miles. i was just woundering how long the standard turbo last's? i don't thrash it everywhere and when ever i first turn the car on, i leave it a least a minute before setting off. i don't know a great deal about...
