1.6TD different turbo K03 or GT15?
« on: August 30, 2010, 05:43:17 pm »
Has anyone put a GT15 or K03 turbo on a 1.6TD? I have TDIs(96,97,98) I like how quickly they spool up. The T3(on a Quantum engine) is slow and seems to kick in at the top of the shift. 1.6TD in a pickup.

Turbo: exhaust gasses go into the turbocharger and spin it, witchcraft happens and you go faster.

I run a K03 on my 1.6 and it is pretty nice. It spools up to 10psi instantly and will cruise to 15-17 all day long. Lots of power and better fuel economy.
