Golf GTTDI 140 2004 plate Turbo

[subzero]

Im new to the diesel scene, and i apologise for this if its a repeat question but i need help

the turbo seems on way out,

so as i see it i have 3 options

1. standard replacement

2. rebuild, can it be upgraded from standard ? Cost? Who does it? more bhp?

3. hybrid turbo Cost?

im not after massive figures, already pulls well, wouldnt mind around 180-200 BHP


would appreciate all the help i can get,


Thanks Guys

I too have been looking into this.
A standard new replacement is quite expensive so I was looking at either a reconditioned unit or get your existing one reconditioned, around £300 I think.
A standard Turbo will cope with the power you want to achieve, with a remap (another £300!).

A hybrid is even more, around the £500 mark but has increased tuning potential, but other parts I'll ideally need adding/ upgrading too.

There a various well known companies who can recondition or hybrid your Turbo, such as cr turbos, turbo technics etc.

Finally you may be able to find a second hand unit for £150 - £200 although you may not be 100% about its condition.

Hope this helps, others may have more detailed info, but its a start.

What extra bhp does the hybrid give you over the standard.

[Andy]

IF your looking at that power go with the standard one

[subzero]

hybrid is 235bhp

[G-Lader]

Mmmmm, what else would need done on a stock engine to get those figures??

[G-Lader]

I'm guessing a clutch and flywheel would be close to the top of the list.

[daboy3000]

I can't see the oem clutch dealing with 235bhp, mine is just about dealing with 200bhp.

You'll  never see any where near 230bhp with just a hybrid turbo, even the gt2260 will only give you tops 220bhp you will need dig further into your pockets for uprated injectors and a new clutch and exhaust then you'll be looking best side of 235bhp,

I needed a new turbo has mine actually imploded and threw the shaft out the back of the car cost me around £900 from CR Engineering for the stage 2 GT1756 which is a standard 140 turbo with a bigger compressor housing and better internals.

Speak to Darkside Development before you do anything has they do all the turbos and clutches and every thing else you can think of to sort you out.

I spoke with Midland Turbos this afternoon, if mine is just needing seals and bearings £185 + vat, they collect and return as part of the price.
If it's fecked and needs a complete rebuild it is £360 + vat and again collection and return included (both standard rebuilds) as they don't offer a hybrid for the BKD engine for some reason....?? 

Not too sure it's worth spending twice the price for a hybrid as I'm not interested in trying to catch R32's (the RS4 does that too well!  )
If a healthy turbo will give a bit more pick up from the bottom end with a remap and downpipe then that's maybe the best option.
She would kill me if I had the upgrade the clutch and the like........

midland turbos are very good
