New turbo needed
- Thread starter STU3Y
- Start date
I think if I pay the surcharge I can keep mine. And the surcharge is likely to be no more than 100 hopefully this means I will at least get some money back on ebay
Just a question that has popped into my head... from what I've read turbo manufacturers recommend replacing the oil feed and return when fitting a new turbo, but when getting a quote from youngs garage wrotham, they said they only replace if damaged/twisted during removal. What do you guys think about this?
Another question, some people have suggested if about to spend 1k on turbo why not upgrade so that I don't have to worry when the next oem one is going to fail. I don't know too much about turbos, so can anyone suggest any alternatives to oem. In all honesty im not bothered about extra power (although it would be a bonus) more interested in reliability. Also if I do go up in power I dont more than 200. I would be happy with about 170 as I know the fr handles this easy.
Check out dark side developments mate these guys are top dollar for tdi vag cars. I'd love to have the money to get a turbo upgrade.

Yeah if the oem ones are crap why replace it with oem. Short term gain really.

Through a cruel fate it seems that I may also have the siren noise lol. Best start saving for for a dark side developments bigger turbo kit. Should be like 220bhp

Im a little worried over this, i have just had my stage2 and Dpf delete done and can hear my turbo now through the exhaust, is this because i've had the Dpf delete done??? Its like a whistling noise, mayb like a siren but i'd say whistling mostly
I take care to never stop straight after driving i let it tick over for around 45 seconds @ least + i never drive it hard from cold.
mines a 170 fr pd with 62000 miles on the clock. do they use the same turbo as the 140 pd???

Yeah they are different. The 170 has a bigger laggier turbo and theres another difference but I can't remember what it is lol.

Ok cheers, I wonder why the 140's eat turbo's then. You'd think with the 140 been in so many different vag models they'd have put the most reliable turbos in.
Saying that I've just moved over from bmw diesels and the 177bhp 2.0 litre diesel has a habit ( in a lot more than a few cases ) of getting the dreaded timing chain rattle which is an engine out job to replace as the chains right upto the bulkhead...average repare price £3500/4000 gulp..

Thought I would record a video of the turbo noise before it goes in for replacement next week. You can also hear a bit of flutter on lift off. Not sure if that's normal or what causes it?
