As per the title really.

 

Forget all this big power talk.

 

If you wanted a Fabia VRS with a nice drivable set up, minimal lag and a wide power band with 200-220bhp which turbo would you go for?

The turbo dynamics pd130 hybrid (stage 2 md446) I have is pretty good and is a safe clean 197bhp.

There is a slightly newer version available now mdx446 which has a billet compressor wheel which may be suitable for a higher tune.

Let me know if you want a test of my car Richard.

I'm thinking of getting a switchable tuning system once I fit the pd150 hybrid, so I can keep this map, but have a higher powered map too, so can have some real comparisons :)

It would be interesting to know at what sort of rpm these alternative turbos start making boost as the standard turbo starts to pull at about 1500 to 1600rpm.

Some of the bigger ones need 2500rpm plus before making boost, can make them less drivable I guess?

Exactly, hence my question.

 

A remapped stock turbo VRS will pull 175bhp and have a nice smooth power graph if mapped correctly with minimal lag.

 

You should be able to get another 40bhp or so without much more lag if choosing the right turbo.

This answer seems popular, are there any RR graph printouts around showing the curves?

Coskev has one, sure he will be along soon. I can vouch for his aswell goes like stink. Sure the LSD does wonders for it aswell :)

I do apologise. I'm sure they're snot as bad as I think. 

 

Yeah I think he's saving them ready to transplant the tdi engine from his Audi into it!

I think I seen a post the other day that he'd bought a Cat D Ibiza that drives, but I might be imagining things.

Got to say, after having the 1756 for 45k and recently changing to 2260.. The 2260 spools faster.

 

Thats my graph up there and the 2260 is superior lower down and of course higher up the rev range.

 

That map was also adjusted shortly after that graph and it still never spooled as well as it does now!
