turbo

So I keep looking at upgrading the turbo - because I can't stop messing/upgrading the car. Currently have the US Spec A3 2.0T Quattro IS20, but keep eyeing the IS38, but I can't really find much information confirming. Every place that sells it says its just a full bolt-on upgrade. However then...

Hi everyone, Got an issue with my A6 that is happening more often now. About 9-10 months ago, when stopped on traffic lights my car suddenly shook and revs bumped up by 100-150. Usually they about 800 when stationery and the car was warmed well enough as driven around 18miles. Moved off and...

Hello Forum, So I own my Audi A4 Quattro Sport 1.9TDI AVF 130 2004 for around 6 Month, When I bought it the turbo control was very good however turbo never been replaced, I also had HG gas lick in it. So I decide to replace HG and turbo not myself but by known service "MT Motors" near Leeds...

Hi Got a 2006 2.0TDI with the BRE engine. I need to replace the turbo, and was just wondering if there are any bolt-on bigger turbos? I was thinking of getting the GTB2056VK, but I'm unsure if it will fit without any extra parts or modifications. Anyone got any experience with this? Thanks

Hi Guys, I am trying to repair my car after the previous owner has bodged quite a bit on the old girl. my question is this.... I have recently changed the DV and noticed that pervious owner has put a piece of copper pipe to from the top inlet hose to a rubber pipe then on to the DV valve...

Hi, So I seem to have an issue a lot of others have with the glow lights coming on and the car going into Limp mode until it is turned on and off again. I took it in into a garage and they plugged it in and said it was showing as an issue with the turbo. They said the turbo has a bit of play...

Hi everyone, pretty new to this forum but had Audi/VW/Seat for last 3 cars so some experience of them Recently our A4 lost power during a trip - literally after coming off a roundabout, it wouldn't rev past 2500rpm. At the time it felt like a limp mode and didn't want us to rev it. Nursing it...

Hi guys, my first post here. I was wondering is it possible to convert an AQA engine to AJQ ( the ecu software ). I've seen a post on other forums ( which if you search AQA to AJQ on google you'll find easily, not giving any links here ), that a member there has succeeded on the conversion and...

hi cars been running fine but last week i decided to put in shell uneleaded instead of the v power i normally use, I done this twice and put in around £20 each time. I then went back to v power but my cars been making some noises and for example when I used to put it in 6th gear at 40mph it...

Hi All, A bit of background... So, i got my A3 1.9tdi Sport about a year ago, it came with a non functioning turbo (we knew of this when buying) but at the price we paid if it did need a new turbo we'd still have a bargain. After some investigation i found that somebody had been faffing with...

Was on the motorway last week and the car suddenly lost power, not completely but almost as if it lost boost, was struggling to get over 60mph. Had it scanned by the AA and it came back with an EGR fault, so i took the EGR valve off and cleaned out the carbon like I've seen a few do, didn't make...

Hi Gents/Ladies, I'm in the process of purchasing an Audi s3 - 8l chassis. I'm basically intending to drive it for a year while collecting parts to then take a week off work to construct a 350whp weapon. Now, my question here for you today is can you heeeelp me? I have so far compiled a...

Hey guys, Just hoping you can confirm something for me more than anything. I was out in my A3 (8pa sportback) 2005 with 180k on the clock last night. I was accelerating up to speed when i felt/heard a pop. Looked out my rear window and i was covering the road in smoke. i got a warning on my...

I have been looking everywhere for a new turbo or reconditioned turbo for my A3 (1.9tdi BXE) and every place I look the prices are sky high around £400. The cheapest place I have found is for £300 with giving my old turbo back. Does anyone know anywhere that will do cheapish turbos? Preferably...

I have recently posted a thread about my car having problems starting when it is at running temperature and also white smoke coming from the exhaust and today I was driving home from work and I was in 5th gear went to put my foot down and nothing happened. I got to 70mph and it wouldn't go any...

I've been looking all over the net for some information on this but can't find anything at all so thought I'd turn to everyone on here :). I have an A3 1.9tdi BKC 55 plate (registered in 06). I've been trying to find out what turbo is in my car, I've been told for my engine code, turbos were...
