Hi watkins, i've tried having a read on the TDI club about some tuning. It seems a mixed response about what turbos can be used. Some seem to think you could possibly use a VNT15 but the ECU will need some alterations to control it.
I wanted to change my GT15 to a VNT (power gains at the most would be 5-10hp as it can sustain a highier boost and also reduces turbo lag)
However it seems apparent that the GT15 turbo was used a lot on the 90hp TDI's such as the mk3 golf, and they all seem to upgrade their turbos and parts using a T4. So i'm going to start looking at what turbo upgrades they use on the mk3 golf tdi (but obviously its easier because they use a 4 branch manifold and not a 3).
Still interested in following up what you find out because i already have a custom code phase 2 remap, so if i wanted a new turbo and other mods i don't need a new remap, just pay a bit to upgrade to phase 3.
