Evening all. Quick question, I have a 18 plate 150 bhp 2.0l d and wondering if I could upgrade the turbo to a 184 or gtd? Is it a straight fit and do I need to buy more upgraded pipe work n that? Also is there actually any benefits

I believe it would bolt on (heads are the same) - but turbo removal is a real pita of a job - Personally I would just re-map the 150.
The 184 also has a stronger clutch/ lower ratio gears & bigger brakes, so not sure how long you clutch would last with 470+Nm?

Think you would need to upgrade the injectors and remap car to see the full benefits.
