danj8608 Posted June 13, 2013 Author Share Posted June 13, 2013 Oh I have also been looking at what my turbo can handle and what it is... 150bhp is the max rating on this GT1544S turbo if I wanted bigger id have to look for a GT1548 which is watercooled and rated to 200bhp. Finding a good 2nd hand one isnt easy.. be good to have proof of what these engines push out with usual tuning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikes-fat-arsed-estate Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 looking good , i was after upping the power on my tdi but i then got a vw passat & after a remap , this keeps me happy ive learned to accept my estate for what it is a very reliable family wagon : ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danj8608 Posted July 19, 2013 Author Share Posted July 19, 2013 This will be reliable because it needs to be.. the tuning I've done with the pump isn't excessive... although im not getting more than 10psi due to week actuator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
