My car has done 105k now, still on original everything, had it remapped a month ago by a decent tuning company to 190bhp and 300lb ft torque, best thing I did, if anything goes it goes as for mileage mine has done I'm not gonna worry too much, just an excuse to upgrade for me.

I like your thinking..........Part of me wants to say "sorry swmbo, the turbos fooked, apparently to avoid the problem happening again we need something called a hhhhhybrid turbo"  :laugh:

This is the 3rd turbo on my 140pd but this one is now an hybrid so hoping its a lot stronger :happy2: On Dave's(PDT) rollers it saw 207hp with a stage 1 map but Ill be letting Dave loose on it once I receive my ECU back from Kula.

The amount of smoke is the same has standard maybe less so i'm happy

:scared: What mileage has yours done?  I would hope your driving style is 'spirited'........

Out of interest, what would a hybrid set me back, and is it a conversion a normal mechanic could undertake or is it specialized work?

Something like £700 for a hybrid iirc...

The turbo is the only reason why I havn't mapped mine yet... :scared: the turbo will pop

The mapping wont 'make the tubo pop' if its done correctly, you can make over 200hp on a stock PD140 with vety little extra boost. Just use a tuner that actually understands mapping and can dyno tune the car professionally rather than just buying their files online for €20 from a guy with a disc full of files bought on ebay!

My car is on 90k now the first turbo went before I got it but the car had only done 3k miles. I have had Bluefin on for nearly 4 years, with no problems. And I don't drive my car slow unless I have my daughter and wife in.

I know S/C Bluefin doesn't alter the boost has on the polar FIS+ it showed 2.54bar when Bluefin was on and the same when taken off.

On briskoda there are frequent threads of pd140 cars 100% STANDARD with blown turbos, so i wouldnt say its to do with the mapper at all.

Anyways, the STS is ordered, I will upload the map once I have fitted the EGR delete kit, then Ben can map out te CEL.  :happy2:

Mine has had the REVO stage 1 software for coming on a year now and I'm well pleased... not that much change in fuel consumption, but I do get some smoke around 4k and on when pinning it!  :happy2:

Best thing I've done to my Golf. Did munch my clutch after 5 laps of Silverstone mind!

I was well happy when I saw the offer, I nearly pre-ordered the stage 1 with free STS a few months ago (before we even got the car) as the offer was so good.  Then the group buy on Briskoda finished and thought I would be waiting a long time, then this offer turned up.  Total cost for map, STS, tweak to map out the CEL after the EGR valve is fitted and postage - £380.  :happy2:

I have ordered it through a company called Darkside Developements, beside having an uber cool name their customer service has been fantastic.  The complete kit has cost £70 including postage.  :happy2:

He is a link to their website the delete kit is not listed for the BKD PD140 engine so I would email them direct.  Scott is the guy I've been dealing with.  :happy2:

Its a kit that removes the EGR valve and replaces it with a simple pipe. Pro's are Cleaner and cooler intake air and less restriction in airflow
