Is it possible to use a 2.0lt 170 bhp turbos usable. As in a straight swap onto my manifold?
They use a couple of different types on the 2.0 engine. A more straight forward/commonly performed swap is to use a turbo from an ASZ or ARL TDI engine as they use the same type as the ASV engine if that is your engine code. The mate used to prefer the ASZ turbo but I think that was size related as it was going into a MK2 golf maybe boosted eariler as well. I'm not 100% sure as to supporting mods i.e. maybe a 130bhp intake manifold could be required.
how does lower torque put more stress on the drive train? its the high low-down torque or the PD130's that kills clucthes and flywheels.....
