I was wondering if your mod was something similar.

It sounds like your exhaust is hitting the beam.
132Hp on the road is pretty impressive for a 1.6. Those runs are with the GT20 of which you say it spools earlier than the stock K24/T3? Won't swapping the turbo for a K24/T3 with push your max HP/TQ up even more up the rpm scale?I just bought a G-Tech RR on ebay.. Can't wait to testdrive my caddy
What's ball park pricing on the smaller GT turbos? I have been looking at T3s for a while and know there is a huge spread, but I always assumed the GT Turbos to be $800-1500.
Quote from: "vwmike"It sounds like your exhaust is hitting the beam. You have good ears There is virtually no play for the exhaust pipe between the pan and the beam, so hangers don't help much. I may get some insulation/padding in there, however.*edit: Some of the rattle is also from the charge pipe tapping the top of the alternator.
The T3 on my 1.9 is reaching 1.2 bar @ ~2700rpm, max torque of 180ftlb 3030 rpm so the GT20 would do just as well I think.The GT15/17/20 are about €900 at the VW dealer.
I have a Weitec 60/40 GT kit and it's speed bump problem low (Euro spec kit so it's lower than what Rapid sells)Do you think the 3" is really necessary or just overkill?
Quote from: "malone"I do not know how the GT20 will perform on a mildly tuned 1.6L with just fueling bumped up. I can't see the turbo being very laggy on a 1.9TD anyway.The T3 on my 1.9 is reaching 1.2 bar @ ~2700rpm, max torque of 180ftlb 3030 rpm so the GT20 would do just as well I think.The GT15/17/20 are about €900 at the VW dealer.
