That's a great idea I will give them a try now, if I can get those drawings then I'll soon be able to tell if this will work or not Thankyou sep

Thanks for the reply sep, is hard for me to do that without buying it, seen lots of pictures, I know the 240mm dimensions correct but the thickness of it is another matter? Looks to be a good thickness on it even though its been used where new sre are listed on the Internet nothing is said about the plate thickness of either the versions of sre ? I could save alot of money if it does fit, New just the sre organic clutch plate & pressure plate is at least £677 + delivery I could buy the same for just £150 delivered Would still need to buy correct bolts & clutch release bearing Do you think it's worth risking it?

Hi I've recently been offered a sachs sre smf clutch plate & pressure plate cheap that hasn't seen much use My question is as above would it fit on standard sachs dmf? Has anyone ever done this? (& yes I know it's not ment to be used with dmf but I can't find a sachs smf for sale anywhere on its own, only part of a kit) ** I ask because I've read of people using rigid plates on smf? so why can't it work the other way round? Of course I understand the smf clutch plate will be thicker than the dmf one but if it fits then surely it would work? Would like to hear of any thoughts or experience of anyone ever doing this who is in the same position as I'm in Or any suggestion as to what smf could ve used that will work If possible I'd rather keep dmf as I've read some bad things about smf, I'd rather avoid doing it unless I really have to

Well just to let you guys know, Purley down to cost of £700 total and overall reliability long term I've got for the turbo dynamics mdx 446 built from my own garrett pd130. I'll be happy with a reliable 190-200 any more is a bous Thanks for all your useful Input, I'll let you know once it's been fitted and mapped accordingly what it makes, but really the reliability is the most important for me Hopefully the hybrid won't be too much worse mpg wise but I'm sure I'll find out soon Cheers

Tbh I'm really thinking you could be right fabooka vrs, for what I want maybe this is the best way to go for now, then in the future get it made into a hybrid if I'm not happy with it

Thanks duck but I'm pushing it just affording a hybrid tbh, & I got loads more to pay for on the carcIf I had the money I'd definatley be going small gtb too

Thanks for the advice I'm going to go for the turbo dynamics mdx 446 stage 2 pd130 , since I got a god deal on the garrett I sent to them and they are upping prices soon, surely a well build turbo from td will be stronger than a stock garrett pd150? I can get the mdx446 for alot less than a new pd150 too so even tho it's not as powerful as the mdx376 I'm sure it must be very close to the 200 mark I'm looking for with very little lag? What do you think I'd get out out the td stage 2 fabooka vrs?

Thanks that puts my mind at rest, I'd rather not spend a fortune on the turbo so right now I'm thinking of going with xmans 1756 hybrid as its straight Bolt on where as I'm sure the gtb is better but costs more requires few bits doing to make it work nothing major but it all adds up. End of the day they both do pretty much the same job right? So why not save some cash Thanks for the advice can't wait to get it done, 👍

Thanks that's the kind of awnser I need no I don't know a huge amount about td tuning but I know a bit I can see what you are saying about the turbo sizing, im aware the kkk is same as garrett pd130 ( gt1749) in size only one that's significantly bigger is the gtb2260vk and that's to big for me, it would be very laggy n boost come in high like petrol upto redline in my mind really is not good thing for a diesel lump. I completely agree from what I've read 2-220 is sweet but if anything I'd rather run the lower side Main thing fof me is safe reliable power I need car daily for work not trying to push it to its limits

Anyone else running a fabia on around 200 hp? I'm keen to know what setups your using?

I agree with you I do enjoy petrol more than diesel but these fabias aren't bad at all when you wanna go reasonably equick and not blow a load of cash on fuel other wise I'd be back in a petrol turbo s3 stage 4 again lol needs are must with fuel costs the way they are and now having to do huge miles

I completely agree vindaloo and I'll be doing exactly that, 👍

I'm definatley not! around 200hp is all I'm after really Want best reliability and road drivability that's all It's only just touching 100k miles but got the long ratio box coming and uprated clutch to go in as well as some 312 brakes Are you running the gtb1756? All I was really looking for was best turbo advice to fit for the kind of power I'm after? Not looking to spend a fortune just do best I can with it as its a daily

Thanks for your opinion you talking about gtb1756vk or hybrid? Yeah know what your sayin I have thought about it for me right now toying with either a pd160 off ibiza cupra r or a gtb1756 vk Xmanturbos does one for good price and the 1756 is much more useable for a daily car With the 1756 & fmic what do you think I'll see powerwise upto 230? Cheers
