Ko4 turbo upgrade

[Louis Scott]

My pd170 has gone in for turbo to be reconed with a hybrid billet based on a ko4, bored out inlet etc, i have decat, egr delete, stock intercooler & injectors, swirl flap delete,

what sort of power would be achievable after a remap?

Seriously, are you having all that done before you change you balance shaft?

What are signs of a wearing balance shaft?

There are no signs.
2.0tdi BRE/BRD engines all wear the balance shaft hex drives.
The only warning you get us the red low pressure warning light comes on and you have about half a mile to switch off or your turbo is toast.
The the premature demise if many a "healthy" TDI.
You could be spending all your money for nothing when the first upgrade should be your balance shaft.
