hey how you getting along with this power so far? Any problems?

Also what intercooler did you use?

we havent got anything like this in the uk yet as no one has done it even though darkside are supplying the parts which you say is just a 177cr turbo?

Same manifold?

Id love to do something like this to mine...just need the right information

Yours is the 1,6 tdi mate? :)

I installed the darkside FMIC used to 1,6 and 2,0.. it took quite alot of fitting but absolutely doable..
,
Its the GTC 1549vz i think used in CR 177, but you can also use the one from cr170. Or a slightly smaller one, because we had to move some things to make room as the turbo is like 3x bigger than std.

Im not entirely sure how they made the manifold fit, as i was not there at the time, but i can ask.

Theres EGR delete and a custom (not darkside) downpipe and dpf delete.

My friends from WD tuning who made my map is coorporating with darkside, so you can get a map from them.

:)


I had no proplems so far at all.. 15,000 kilometers so far :)

It drives really really well, it pulls better than my mates 2,0 tfsi 200hp in all gears :) i think you wont regret it.

If you need any info im on [email protected]

Ill help you yo my best

Hows the engine holding up now?
Any problems or increased wear?
