Well - My turn to new turbo. Which to go with and why? :)
« on: March 21, 2017, 07:42:57 pm »
Yeah as tittle says.. Not only do I have a theft from the car where they scratch the paint, ruin the mirror, brake the window and steal my almost brand new 510 with SSD and DAB  :fighting:

Today when I should pass a driver which style of driving didn't suit my needs it sounded like I just opened an REALLY exspensive champagne bottle after a good shake down .... PUFFF! Car would not pull and blue smoke from exhaust from the oil I assume that now goes in the engine since the turbo is broken hehe..

I need a new turbo for my remapped 2.0TDI BKD engine - which one should I go with and why? :)

Try these guys...

darksidedevelopments.co.uk

They specialise in derv tuning. Probably the best, or at least most popular in the UK. Most of their kits are turbo upgrades like the GTB2260, but they'll be able to advise you on hybrids too.

Just depends how far you want to take it, and what you can afford to pay.

100% Darkside.

Alex at AKS can advise you on every sensible option but he's usually pointed me here for a turbo build during my 2.0 TDI Audi days...

@xjay1337 has a decent bigger turbo build by DD  :evilgrin:

Yeah I know that Darkside D. exists  :chicken:

Ordered my clutch kit from there and also ordered some goodies today that hopefully will get me around the +220hk mark. Which has been my goal with the car all along :)

Then I can still swap out the remap for the a slow version when the car need inspection :P
