A3 1.9tdi Turbo Upgrade?

[LaytonA3]

Hi all,

After recently having my full service I was informed that my turbo is on its way out.

Are there any other bigger turbos that will bolt on without too much trouble? (Is it even worth getting a bigger turbo?)

My car is a 2005 A3 1.9tdi (Remapped)



Thankyaaaar :thumbsup:

Px it for a 2.0tdi pd140 BKD then upgrade the turbo

You can get a turbo off ebay which is the same as your turbo but with gt1749vc (pd170) internals for £410 delivered, then get a set off arl/asz/blt pd130/pd150 injectors and a custom map to suit and you will easily be over 200bhp.

Straight swap too.

This guy sells them to members of the skoda and seat forums at £380 all in. Am looking to get this same one for my daily driver so maybe we can sort a little group buy discount??
