Funny thing is that I've not only had an hy35 on my 1.9 but in a compound setup with the stocker turbo.The hy spooled too little and too late.Another guy on this forum (Hilfolk'r) spl?? used the hy35 as a single with his mechanically controlled TDI and had very similar issues as me we could both only manage 20-30 psi with either setup.There is also a smaller turbo that came on some of the US 1.6 diesels it was the k14.The 1.9 TD in canada used the k03,T2 and k14.
Here's the whole thread as it seems your interested :wink: http://vwdiesel.net/phpBB/viewtopic.php?t=2538
The 20-30 psi comes too late in the rpm (22 psi @4500rpm approx) well past where we need it for the diesels torque at much lower rpm.The only way to get it spooling to 22psi was burning over double the stock fueling.The stocker T3 turbo works well upto 23-24 psi and spools 10 times better.
This is a good point.I guess the question would be then would the HY in a compound config move enough air with say a Giles steroid pump and some larger injectors to keep the EGT's livable?Say set the waste gate on the small primary to approx 15-20 psi and hope the HY is spinning by then so when the small turbo is getting close to the end of it's MAP the waste gate opens and the HY takes over.See I don't plan on racing this car at all, it's a commuter. I want it to be a fun commuter to the point that if a ricer decides to overtake me I can wind it up and watch their jaw drop for fun.dan
