Hi, I'm off work after having an operation, and have spent most of my time researching stuff to do, both on my old mini, nice and straightforward, and the a4 avant.
It's a b7 2007 1.9 non dpf, upgraded brakes, S-line black leather seats, rotors, new wings, door blades, spoiler etc, so its tidy enough, flew mot and quite happy with it generally.
Was looking at remap which would bring it to approx 145bhp, and an egr delete.
As I've been researching I've seen about upgrade to turbo using pd170 off a 2.0, so few questions...
Presume need pd130 or 150 injectors, pretty straightforward to do?
When looking at stuff on Ebay, looks as though original turbo (bke engine I believe) has a vac operated actuator, but the pd170 appears to be electric connector? But I've read it's a straight swap. Or swap actuator over too?
Is it the bv43 turbo with a suffix a or b?
And will it bolt in place of my original one as in straight to manifold and downpipe, thinking decat too along with egr delete.
And does it have to be fron an A4, or will an A6 or golf, leon etc donate parts? And engine codes to get it from.
Do know of a pd150 leon for parts if anything is compatible.
One last thing, for now anyway, is it advisable to fit a fmic instead of the single side one, would it be a universal kit, or specific one, only seen 2.0tdi one from darkside which is nice, but big bucks.
Thanks for any advice, cheers
