Turbo upgrade for TDI?

[GoLfMan]

I don't know how anyone could say "it goes pretty good." The Polo 1.9 TDI (the lightest and fastest 1.9 TDI equipped car on sale in Australia), even with a chip, is hopelessly slow.

Go for the turbo upgrade. Along with head work, camshaft, valvetrain etc.

i wouldnt say its hopelessly slow, its a gutsy little bugger and I thoughroughly enjoy driving it

Can't argue with that.

Why pull it off the road & have your daily sit around for umpteen week's while you fab up turbo gear?

Leave it & enjoy it.

Build your mk1! haha

that's what I've been trying to tell him for a while now! But no, he wants buckets too! ha. and slicks! dill....


How did this thread involve anything to do with draggin people off from the lights? The op didn't mention this! Way to crap on fellas. Don't be surprised if those posts aren't there in the morning....


I reckon that international VW diesel forum would be the go for technical info. and find out what size your turbo is first! Also no point in having a bigger turbo if the ECU doesn't know whats going on and/or you don't run more boost.

Maybe look at uppping the boost on the turbo first, + IC + DP & exhaust. I think that'll be plenty for a DAILY DRIVER!

Go fix your mk 1 now...
