Title: compound turbo setup on a 1.6td
Post by: jimbobpolo on May 11, 2010, 06:39:27 am: 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

james :D

The Malone Tuning tdi makes around 450hp!!!!!!!
