Better turbo for TDI-M?
« on: December 25, 2006, 06:07:43 am »
I was just wondering if there was a better, upgraded, stronger, etc. aftermarket turbo that could be used on a TDI-M project? Only the best !

How much power are you shooting for? What pump are you running? What engine modifications will it have?

This is kindof a preemptory strike. I'm still in the planning stages and I'd hoped you would build the final product. There are just some questions I need clarified in my mind....call me anal :oops:

The above comments are right. The turbo that will be ideal for your car will greatly depend on what your power goals are, etc. There are ALOT of options out there... All depend on the pump your running, what size injectors....etc. So maybe an idea on what your shooting for may help a bit! Merry Christmas!

Post up your questions here and we'll answer them, but really turbo choice comes after you kind of set in mind the type of engine you are building. Unless you just want to start with a huge turbo and we can build the engine to suit it :twisted:
