My GTB isn't welded to the manifold it has a flange fitting,

And the original Milltek won't fit totally in the wrong place and it too small at only 2" where it exits the turbo

I used a sharp 90deg bend a 45deg bend 30cm and 12" flexi flange all 2.5" this then connected to the rest of cut off downpipe and I had to reeled the support brackets back on

 

Whats your bulkhead clearance like? Minimal  ; )

I had one on a flange first, but the turbo is positioned way too far away from orig position for my liking.

Got the welded on version and turbo sits nearly where orig one did, hence my downpipe lining up nicely

got plenty of room by bulk head, had to alter the actuator position but that was all

can't think which manifold you have used if you have a welded on GTB1756VK unless its off Darkside?

 

but still the standard Milltek flange is only 2" to the flexi then 2.5" so this should be changed for GTB1756vk turbo or it will just be strangling the exhaust gases

here is the comparison between the stock turbo and GTB1756vk welded onto manifold:

 

 

 

and the bulkhead clearance:

xman are you supplying both welded and Flanged GTB1756vk turbo's then?

 

here is the downpipe i made for mine and my engine bay which is slightly different to most as the turbo inlet comes in from the drivers side

 

 

 

yes I supply both but it's getting harder to find the manifolds where you can bolt the turbos on and the welded on ones are easier to fit (better clearance) so I will only offer the welded on ones unless someone specifically ask for a flanged one, and I still offer the turbos on their own without a manifold.

 

BTW one important thing as it may not be obvious to all: Please use some simple custom support bracket between the turbo snail and the engine block. That will will take some weight of the turbo from manifold and prevent it from potential cracking etc. (not that I'm expecting the manifold to crack but stock turbos are much lighter than GTBs so it would be reasonable to take some precautions)

Hi my name is Luis I was wondering if you stillhave a 2260 turbo for sale and if so if maybe you have the manifold to fit my Alh jetta and you could tell me the price i n dollars?

Hi,

yes I do have the one welded onto manifold for 8V 1.9TDI engines fitting ALH.

the prices are:

turbo with manifold: £650

delivery 2-4 working days around £65

Optional:

downpipe flange: £20

braided oil feed line: £40

paypal fee 3.9%

Prices in USD will depend on current exchange rate used by paypal.

assuming that you buy just the turbo it's: £715*1.039=£743 which is roughly 1300 USD

Just out of curiosity, I am very interested in a gtb2260vk turbo welded onto a manifold for 2.0 tdi bkd, would you know if the milltek v band clamp from my current decat would fit from my standard turbo? Also, my standard turbo has an electronic actuator, how does this affect the install?

Apologies if this is a stupid questions however im just wondering what is involved when fitting this?

can you show us a picture of that electronic actuator please? it's interesting as I haven't seen stock PD140 turbo with electronic actuator yet...

 

you need to weld proper downpipe flange and adjust the downpipe as required GTB turbo has 3 studs no way of using a clamp to fit the downpipe you can clearly see the turbo in the pictures above how would you imagine doing it????

 

fitting will be very similar to the job silky and coskev (above) have done on their cars with GTB1756vk GTB22 is just a little bit bigger

 

You need to be prepared to fit new boost pipes, oil feed/drain, weld downpipe flange and adjust the downpipe, do EGR delete if not done already, adjust the stop screw and then do remap. 

Thanks foe the reply xman, the electronic actuator is something that I was told by eclipse performance, (now closed) I would not be doing anything like this myself as my mechanical know how is limited! So it would be a case of sourcing parts and getting them fitted!

I already have the egr delete completed so it would just be the parts for the turbo.

What is your current turn around for getting one of these gtb2260vk's already welded onto a manifold?

I take it the downpipe adaptor is the same as sold by darkside developments.

Thanks again in advance

I do have them in stock available for next day delivery.

 

Regarding the electronic actuator, this is stock BKD turbo:

 

 

as you can see it's just normal vacuum actuator

the downpipe flange will be exactly as the one you see already welded onto downpipe in silky's post

 

dp flange is extra £20

braided oil feed £40

I've finally managed to take some pics of the oil feed, dp flanges and the GTB2260vk welded onto transverse 1.9TDI manifold:

 

oil feed:

 

 

even spaced dp flange:

 

elongated dp flange:

 

 

GTB2260vk:

 

ok I have confirmation that the GTB2260vk prototype will be sent to me in two days time so I should get it Friday/Monday/Tuesday can't say for sure.when exactly until it's actually posted. It will come as used vacuum converted GTB2260vk with custom flange welded onto it to fit exhaust manifold and bolt onto the exhaust manifold to fit Fabia ASZ + there will be down pipe flange included.

So just to be clear it won't be sandblasted/rebuild but it will be checked for shaft play etc. and will come with 6 month warranty as the rest of the turbos I'm selling. As it is a prototype it will only cost £600 + £15 delivery + paypal charge but it must be paid in full in advance if anyone wants to secure it.

A next one will come probably Friday next week or at some point in 2 weeks time but this will be the target version sandblasted, balanced etc. and the price will be closer to £800 I believe(to be confirmed).

Also there will be two GT1749vc(PD170) based hybrids (coming with the prototype GTB) one to fit ALH and the other one to fit BXE engine. I'm expecting two ASZ hybrids and K03 hybrid by the end of next week. Those (the hybrids) are all priced at £350 + £15 (UK delivery) + paypal charge and can be secured with £20 deposit.

I do have lots of PMs coming every day regarding different turbos etc. so I would like to make things clear: no turbo will be secured for any one without a deposit as there is to many people asking questions and then out of no where ending the communication without saying whether they do or do not want to order the turbo.

I would like to apologise to all those members who have PM'd me and been promised that I will contact them

once I get specific turbo in stock. Due to number of PMs I'm simply lost in there and have no time to dig through all of them over and over again (I will do my best however to keep my promises) so please watch my for sale threads or make sure you have secured your turbo with a deposit.

If you ask any questions about hybrids please state your car make/model/manufacturing year and engine code and preferably turbo model if you know it this will speed things up an make it easier to give you precise answers.

Hi I bought a gtb2260 of you and I am having problems fit it the actuator hits off the drive shaft please advice

you need to alter the turbo core and this will allow you to move the position of the actuator

Hi I bought a gtb2260 of you and I am having problems fit it the actuator hits off the drive shaft please advice

 

yeah you may try to adjust the turbo core but only by 15-20 degrees as the oil return should be facing down, anyway I already agreed with j.braderz that he will receive adjustable actuator bracket which will let him to set the actuator in different position. I will tell my supplier to install these in all the GTBs he is making for me to avoid such problems in the future

Xman rang me and sorted out a solution with me very swiftly and was great to deal with I'll keep progres posted on here

another GTB1756vk arrived this morning together with the first GTB2056vk I've ever had (they are nightmare to get hold of) pics soon

 I am thinikng of a replacement turbo for power - I've got a BUK Cupra TDi,  what's the easiest replacement option - without the need for custom, welded manifolds etc. .. just bolt-on hybrid big turbo?

it's either hybrid or big mate, hybrid fits plug and play but best you can get from it is 210-220bhp for 210bhp+ I would go for GTB1756VK for 230bhp+ GTB2056vk,

 

cheers

GTB1756vk with a manifold for 1.9TDIs back in stock

Whats involved with fitting the GTB1756vk on the fabia VRS, i've got a miltek turbo back system fitted and an egr delete soon to go on if that has any ref.

you have some pics on the previous page, basically new boost pipes, oil feed, oil drain, welding dp flange, oil and filters change, adjusting the turbo stop screw and remap at the end plus whatever else will come up in the process

With fitting a FMIC like the forge one would the piping that comes with that fit up to the new turbo, and same question really, is it just a case of having the new DP flange welded onto my milltek DP and then it'll all fit up??

 

Just wondering on the added cost of things i may need to get it working or is it basically a plug and play upgrade.

 

Would you say this is the best option when aiming for around 230bhp??

 

Am i right in saying these GTB turbos spool quicker and are more efficient etc. Wondering what the full benefit is over a normal hybrid. 

 

So what's your best price Delivered for one inc oil feed and drain assuming the DP Flange comes with??

regarding the fmic and piping I can't really say anything as I've never fitted one myself...

 

personally I would go for GTB2056vk, GTB17 will be pretty much maxed out around 230bhp and GTB20 will give you good safety margin and better reliability

 

Theoretically good hybrid should spool faster than GTB as it's simply smaller and the wheels are lighter, GTB is more efficient and handles much more boost and power.

 

Regarding the pricing etc. please PM me and we can come up with something for you once you decide what to go for.

im slightly lost, im saving up to get a turbo from you and oil lines (soon) and want the biggest one with the most power that fits on the stock manifold (to put in blankly).or how much would be it to get another manifold to fit a bigger turbo? whats the best one youd recommend? are these turbos hybrid? sorry if its a topic that's been covered i did have a read through just cant make it out

Thanks sam
