• compound turbo setup on a 1.6td by jimbobpolo on 11 May, 2010 06:39
• hey guys ive got this idea of a compund turbo setup that i want to put together,
  just wanted opinions and advice really, ive got a 1.6td engine that im building up and i have a garrett t2 with choice of turbine housings and the original KKK k24 that came with the 1.6.
  would there be a big enough size difference to warrant compounding the t2 with the k24?
  
  i have the pipework to be able to make the setup work, just wondered if it would be worthwhile?
  
  cheers

• Hey I'm not too far from you. Anyways, I don't know if anyone has done up a 1.6td. Mark Malone (a mod) out of BC has built or helped build a compounded 1.9 tdi. Andy2 has built a compound idi I think although I don't know what the base engine was.
  
  The Malone Tuning tdi makes around 450hp!!!!!!!

• I think a single properly sized twin-scroll modern ball bearing turbo would do much better than the t2 and the k24 in conjunction.
