Right I've got the suspension sorted, the TT brake conversion done and now I'm ready to start getting the bits and pieces needed for my Turbo upgrade, but I am unsure how far to go as the car is my daily driver and covers upwards of 600 miles a week.

Currently its been remapped, had the PD160 air filter upgrade and the complete Miltex exhaust upgrade, I guess its running anything from 160 to 180 BHP, will get it on a rolling road before the Turbo upgrade to be sure.

So I'm looking at either hybridizing the PD130 Turbo, or fitting a hybrid PD150 or even a hybrid PD170 turbo, but I don't want to spend loads more for just a bit more power. What sort of BHP would I be looking at for the Turbos? Are they more or less bolt ons? Should I be fitting anything else with them such as a more efficient intercooler?

For a hybrid yes you will really need an FMIC. PD170 turbo won't fit but a hybrid 150 will, think CR turbos are doing exchange ones for about £600 but you'll need a turbo first.

As approximates, you'd be looking at circa 200bhp for the hybrid VA, 220bhp for the hybrid VB and 0bhp from the hybrid 170turbo as mention above by Ross. Turbos are bolt on, but don't forget to budget for a decent custom map to get the best out of them.

It would certainly be recommended to fit an FMIC otherwise heatsoak will become an issue. More essentially on a Fabia, you will struggle not to destroy a standard clutch/flywheel with the increased torque of a hybrid, so I would budget to uprate both and maybe go for an SMF.

I forgot to mention that it has a Jabbasport flywheel and the uprated Sach clutch fitted by the first owner, is this going be good enough?

i have a pd150 stage 2 hybrid from turbodynamics, my furby is running 230bhp 376ft torque and runs realy well on it,

you do need a fmic tho or will run into problems,

Hybrid VNT20 with custom mani like moi

mmmmm

I'm sure I read somewhere about the ability to use the turbo from the toureg tdi aswell??

Only if its hybridised with a standard turbo maybe, Toureg TDI is either a 5 cylinder PD engine or a V6/V10 TDi unit

There's someone on tdi sport putting one on a 1.9 pd engine, then into a mk2 golf I think lol

Matt

Wont be a straight fit though, must be a mix and match of bits is what im saying.

Yeah that's the one lol

Hybrid VNT20 with custom mani like moi

mmmmm

VNT20 is a bit old school now tbh, the GTB2260VK is more likely the way to go

Does the GTB2.260VK bolt straight on? I'd prefer something easy to fit.

Old skool is cool though

See what bhp it can make

it's not just about peak numbers, but a GTB2260VK with R783's and the usual exhaust mods seems to be good for anywhere from 240 to 260bhp, add a cam and headwork and 300bhp is on the cards. apparently with no more lag than VNT17 it's tech and old school is just that...old

what about the audi Q7 turbo

what about the audi Q7 turbo

Same engines I think as the toureg

Same goes though with the manifold being part of the turbo unless a manifold is made the turbo wont fit, unless parts of the bigger turbo are used to adapt the standard one.

Gah, sounds a bit beyond what I want to do at this stage, had a nose at the Mongrel's recent surgery on another forum and it was a bit daunting.

So a turbo of a PD150 plus a bigger IC going to be the biggest I can do without major work? Is the Jabbasport front mount IC any good? I'm thinking slow and steady, otherwise I'll run out of upgrade room if I move up too quickly.

what about the audi Q7 turbo

That is the GTB2260vk turbo - at least as long as it is a recent Q7. They do not fit right on. You need adaptor to weld to the downpipe, adaptor to weld to the exhaust manifold - you actually NEED an exhaust manifold as the vnt17 is integral with the manifold. Also need to adapt boost and intake pipework. Once thats all sorted will also likely need the hot side spinning around a bit so the outlet points in the fabia direction (i.e down, kind of to the right)

Then there's converting what is an electronically actuated turbo (hence the "k" in the name) into a vacuum actuator operated turbo. I sure didn't want do this DIY so got my turbo supplier to convert it for me.

it's not just about peak numbers, but a GTB2260VK with R783's and the usual exhaust mods seems to be good for anywhere from 240 to 260bhp, add a cam and headwork and 300bhp is on the cards. apparently with no more lag than VNT17 it's tech and old school is just that...old

I have a diblias cam

Does that count?

Or a pwr air to liquid charge cooler

This intercooler malarchy old hat now

I'm planning a seat sport intercooler and hybrid my turbo or get a new one.

Seat sport intercoolers about for £100-150 I think around £290 new

I paid £250 delivered for mine.

Matt

Why do people choose the forge kit for more than double the price when the seat sport is prob just as good ? Paying for the brand maybe

the seat sport is huge!

i remember reading on seat cupra.net and a lad that run both...

the seat sport gave out less smoke than the forge

I was under the impression that the seat sport kit use the standard crappy VAG connectors that pop off when running even just a remap, let alone 200bhp +. That was my reason for it anyway
