A word of warning.
Keep your money as you may soon need the turbo upgrade. Your car has similar mileage to mine and my turbo failed at 133k. I had the agressive map from Jamie. Nothing wrong with it at all its just the Garret 1749v is known to suffer from shaft failure, especially when its boosting at much higher pressures than normal.
In all I paid £580 for a hybrid turbo
£150 fitting inc oil change
£500 for a jabba map to drive the hybrid.
I was sensible on the power output but have 350lbft and all seems well after 10k
Not trying to worry you here Derek, your turbo may go on for a lot longer yet.
Mine actually failed after pulling out of a junction when I reached 20mph

Just wondering if theres any good mods for a leon TDI Cupra, i allready have a remap and uprated clutch, a new turbo seems a bit pricey for me at the moment but im wonderin if theres anything else that can be changed/modified that gives good gains for good price?
, a bloke down my way has offered a remap for £150 sounds cheap compared to others further afield
Thats cool as, where did you get the turbo from? Is the oil change just engine oil or does it use a sepperate stuff? Did you need a custom remap or is jamies fine? Thats the only thing i dont quite get about changing turbo...wont is still boost at 1.7bar no matter which turbo it is?
sorry to go off the thread but can i ask where that guy is from?
pontypridd , not sure exact ,
he quoted that price , not sure if that was discounted or not (he knows my uncle, )
Just use normal oil but its absolutely neccesary to change the oil when fitting a new turbo.
It depends on what turbo spec you buy as to wether Jamie's map will run it properly. My compressor wheel on the turbo technics unit is sufficiently bigger to require the custom map. I drove the car for a month before the cutom map. It still produced 190hp but smoked black below 2500 rpm. Mine now peaks at 2.2 bar and settles to 1.9. I must now have more than 207hp as I have replaced the maf and the thermostat and the leon goes better than it did so hopefully it now has somewhere around 220 and 360. Getting my decat next month and another power graph to see what I have. Watch this space!
