I've pm'd TDI140 and told him his turbo's Knackered

woow a ****** turbo

Ahah it is infact a typo lol i cant type lol BIGGER* turbo is what i was supposed to say otherwise your standard turbo will be a ******** turbo if you try to map it with high boost

Well mine has a claimed 197 BHP on a rolling road when I had the custom remap done. See details in the signature below. The tuner did ask if I wanted a number starting with a 2, however it would have meant creating a torque spike to get there. My preference was for a more linear torque response hence the sub 200 number. It was done at 40,000 miles and is now on 120,000 still with the original turbo. So no reliability issues and it averages over 60mpg, what's not to like. That said if only the turbo would blow itself up then I could justify a hybrid replacement.

I found having the exhaust done made a surprisingly big difference. The car picked up speed much more effortlessly. Although you should get a custom map straight after doing the exhaust to get the most out of it and avoid any turbo over spooling issues. EGR delete is also a cheap, simple no brainer of a mod.

good luck and keep us all posted on developments.
