MK5 GT TDI - Map
« on: March 28, 2013, 08:21:28 pm »
Little :( had lots work done on the car today and it's running like a dream.

Was hoping/looking for a remap - bit extra ' :driver: but they have advised me to leave it. VERY slight wine from turbo, they said it could pop it. It's done 110k

Turbo replacement approx £900.

All this sound about right?

I take it that includes fitting of a standard turbo? I think they are approx £500 new then labour on top to fit. Where was this at?

Yea all in fitted - new.

They said they would not advise second hand ones, and the ones fitted are VERY hard to do anything with (recon/rebuild) - can you get DECENT used ones?

Little GUTTED. They said it fine, but would not advise a remap.

I went for a hybrid, expensive but worth it. I did look at overhauling my original and CR turbos were recommended. I emailed them a few times and they seemed very helpful. Drop them a line see what they say/recommend and what the price would be. You would have to remove and send off your turbo though. I believe they also do exchange

Think if it s making a noise then i would leave the remap for now as it will put more strain on the turbo--As Paul mentions i have a Cr turbo hybrid stage 2 and cost me £600 2nd hand but it had been checked over by cr turbos before i bought it

Johnny an hybrid is a standard turbo that has been modified either by having the internals reworked or a bigger housing.

£900 I bang on that's what my standard turbo cost before I went hybrid the standard one lasted 2 years and always had a slight whine. So take that how you want but every VAG car I've heard have always had this noise.

Hope that helps mate

The garage I use a just fantastic, they have never let me down and always over deliver. It is Midlands VW (legends) here is my issue. They said I have a slight wineeee and really would not advise me getting a map or anything as it may just kill off the turbo.
They also said they would never touch or recommend a hybrid turbo.

Just a little  :rolleye: as to what I should look to do....

- Recon unit (2nd hand)
- Have mine refurbed
- Straight forward OEM unit new
- Hybrid new

Any tips/guidance/thoughts would really help. I'm looking summer this year. As said, have a 05 GT, is lovely but missing some power.

I'm running standard exhaust and cooler with hybrid without issue. If you want more gains etc you can upgrade later if you feel the need. You do need s custom map though for definite.
