In the video bellow it shows an adjustment of the wastegate actuator from a different turbo model. The rod can be turned to loosen it or tighten it, and after that it has a jam nut that locks the position. This changes the wastegate door position and also some voltage that can be read with VCDS for the closed and open position. The turbo for our cars has a different kind of wastegate rod that doesn't allow any adjustment... from what i saw in the pictures.... That's why I said an adaptation is not requiered since we can't adjust anything anyway. And I guess that's why your turbo works just like that, plug and play😀 and this is good news. If someone has more info about this please share it, thank you! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sne8-9svmN0

Thank you very much for your fast reply. I will probably start by remaping with stock turbo and if the turbo fails someday I will replace it with a larger one. The main factor that led me to this decision is the low rpm lack of boost of the larger turbo. What I like the most to my 1.2 tsi engine is that it has enough torque from very low rmp and is so fun and easy to drive in the city. I don't. Want this to change. One weird thing I saw these days during my search for info about the larger turbo is regarding the wastegate actuator; the rod doesn.t have any adjustments, is just one stiff piece of metal. What were you referring when you said "Adaptation is advised but not necessarily required for the wastegate (I didn't do it on mine and it's been fine)." ? You mean adaptation with vcds? But it seems no mechanical adjustment is possible for the wastegate actuator rod......

So you fitted the larger turbo on your car but the ECU map is the stock one, the 90 HP version? And you drive the car everyday with no problems, no errors no limp mode or anything like this? I'm asking because in my country (Romania) I found a new turbo (04E 145 721 B) for around 200 euros and I haven't decide it yet which upgrade path to follow. I have a 2016 Fabia 1.2 TSi 90HP and I want the maximum power and torque I can get without other major changes to the car like stronger clutch or brakes, extra cooling, fuel injectors, induction kit etc. I know the turbo swap is considered a major change, but since I can do it with 200 euros plus 100 labor, and the turbo is brand new ....it's pretty tempting for me... So if I want around 130 HP is better to remap with the current stock turbo or the remap with the larger turbo is a better choice? I assume that the smaller turbo will be pushed to the max for the same power that the larger turbo will obtain at half of its potential, so it will last longer before it brakes. Do you think I can drive my car a few months with the larger turbo without remap? After a while when my budget will allow it, I can make a custom map (400 euros) especially for better boost at lower rpms. What do you think!
