turbo

Hi everyone , (first time posting so I hope it’s in the correct location) Ive had my turbo replaced on my Seat Leon MK3 1.6 TDI 2015 due to a starved turbo. Since this was replaced and fully serviced it’s now had a small oil leak since and it’s driving me crazy. The mechanic who fitted this has...

Hi All, Hope life is treating us all fairly. I purchased an '02 Cupra 20v 1.8t back in August last year. The car has served me well, and I'm looking to keep it for a long time. From purchase, I've noticed an issue with boost and wanted some help to be pointed in the correct direction. When on...

Hello everyone, Yesterday when I was replacing intake pipe I decided check clearance on the shaft and I was really shocked. Please let me know you opinion if is it normal, from my point of view I´m a little bit disapointed. Cupra 300, model 2018 odometer 72xxx km...

My Seat has been off the road for almost 3 years and it's just had a cylinder head and head gasket repair which had no problems from the engine after it was done. A couple of weeks ago I was driving it and the rev meter was taking maybe a couple of seconds to get to 1500rpm then the turbo...

I am about to change my FR130 to an FR150.. (Despite having stupid safety features and more software bugs than I can keep count of) Question: Anyone know if the Turbo and intercooler setup is the same between the two? and if it is difference, does the 150 have more tuning capability? T

Sorry if this has been asked before - but I couldn't find much information anywhere else. So, I had a BWA 2.0 TFSI with the full 'Stage2+' R-Tech package. So basically, 'full bolt ons'? HPFP, revised diverter valve, S3 intercooler, custom intake, full 3" decat exhaust etc. But, I was forced to...

Driving home from work today, accelerated the car from maybe 20mph to 30mph relatively hard, followed by a massive cloud of white smoke from the exhaust pipe at the back of the car, and loss of turbo power, now the car sounds very chuggy and ofc no turbo, There was no Bang, just a cloud of smoke...

Hey, I need some help. I have recently instaled a GTB2260VKLR turbo on my 1.9 TDI ARL PD150 Seat Leon MK1 . Since then I have noticed a really loud whistle from the turbo on spool it only starts at about 3000rmp and 2.0 bars of boost. I have airtec intercooler with 60mm pipework and firad 120%...

Hello all, so my little project is coming along nicely, there’s been some hiccups but we’ve gone from taxi to slightly faster taxi in just a couple of months. the next step is to swap out the baby alh90 turbo with one out of a pd150 (I’ve read a few guides on the turbo upgrade so we should be...

Engine in limp mode, glow plug light flashing, WORKSHOP warning on MFD, prior to limp mode it had almost zero pull until 3500rpm, fault code P0299 under-boosting, sucked on the actuator vacuum pipe and it won't even hold a vacuum just from the strength of my lungs. Looks a bit fiddly to replace...

Hello, I believe I might be having a slightly different issue when it comes to the EPC/ actuator fault, a month ago my EPC light came on and lost power, so I took it to my local garage that was recommended by a friend this garage specializes in only Turbos that all they work on so I assumed...

Went for a steady remap earlier on today which took my car to about 135/140 bhp by a highly respected tuner in my area and as I pulled off of the street I have it some in first and second and car went in limp mode followed by a cloud of blue smoke turned car off and waited for it to be...

Hi guys, This is my second thread on here (woo!) I need some information & that's why I am posting here. Last time I did & got tons of help! I am hoping for same again! ? Here we go. So 3 days ago I got my DPF removed (physically) and today I got the car mapped out at a tuning place. They did...

So I brought this car and it was a nail clutch done and alloys on it ..(looking better) Got it remapped and the whistle from the turbo began and finally went bang on me ..... now turbos gone I'm.looking to replace ,can I get some guidence not looking to get ripped off just looking for an idea...

Hi all, What boost gauges are people running? I had a look on forums/fb groups but couldn't find much on which ones are the best/most recommended. Are the ones for like £20-40 quid on ebay any good? I looked at ones like Turbosmart, VDO, Racetech and Stack too. Is it worth spending the extra...

Hello, I am new to the forum so please be gentle. I have recently bought a 2012 Seat Ibiza (6J) 1.6 TDI Sportrider with 90k miles from a local dealer. I have a couple of questions please... 1. Heat - The car has been fitted with a new turbo after some issues with it before purchase. Went on a...

I have had an EPC and Engine Warning light come on, my local mechanic has informed me i have got an issue with my Turbo Actuator. I am looking at replacing this, however i am having issues finding the correct rod length. I have the right Actuator, however the rod length comes in both 10cm and...
