Bloody expert on them now :signLOL:the new turbo that's going on mine is going to be a long stronger when i get it back

Is it a hybrid? I like the sound of it already!

Sort of a hybrid,it will hold more boost than a standard turbo

JoeDarKa · December 27, 2011, 11:05:00 PM

Sounds good!

Andy · December 27, 2011, 11:18:03 PM

It revved upto about 3.5k and then went pop. We pulled over and it would only rev to 2k and then turned it off and left it.

wouldnt of thought it would of sucked the oil out i know a few people that when the turbo went they rev up and wont turn off with there cars it sucked the oil out and fubarred them.

But if yours is still running hopefully just the turbo.

There was no oil left in the engine when the AA turned up!

Bit of an update, the car is now at the garage back home after our friend came up for it and was miles cheaper than the AA! I need to find out my engine code to make sure i get the correct turbo. Its either a GT1646V or GT1749V. I hope it isnt the first turbo as its smaller and meant to be quite limited on power levels. Il find out my engine code tomorrow when i go and see it and discuss a price (

Im such a noob but got to learn somewhere! I cant give you a thank you post for that for some reason! The engine is a BKD which means the GT1749V hopefully!

Sorry to hear about your turbo, but the car is looking great and how I would of liked my golf to look. Coloured wheels would be a nice touch too, be brave

Joe why don't you go the Hybrid turbo route like what darren has done,his car is amazing!!!

when my turbo goes that will definitely be the way I'm going

If i was a little bit older so insurance wouldnt be a killer then i would! I also havent got the cash for a hybrid either!! What else do you need for say, a stage one hybrid? e.g. manifold, exhaust etc?

And dont worry, my CHs will be painted before they go back on!!
