Swapping the 105 bhp turbo 1.9 TDI


Recommended Posts

So, the octavia '05  1.9 pd tdi (4x4 6 speed manual ) has started to get a bit smokey and is not as spritely as she once was. I've given her a dose of injector cleaner, and a reasonably thorough drive to clean the system. 

It may need the EGR valve cleaned out. But I think after 150,000 miles the turbo has started to give up. I was giving a bit of thought to replacing the turbo with a 130, or even a 150 gt tdi turbo.

Has anyone else up sized the turbo in their car?

What route did you go down?

What kind of results did you get? 

Around 150 bhp, with a reasonable increase in cross range torque would be ideal. 

I'm not trying to go mad, as it's my daily driver.
