Ok, so I bought an Ibiza TDI pd100 sport as a run about.

Soon things got a bit out of hand though and I've got a massive pile of bits going on it. It's a GT1756 hybrid turbo. Front mount intercooler, full decat, S1000 air filter, custom inlet manifold and a Piper fast road cam.

I was hoping for 250bhp+ but I'm not sure I've got the right turbo really.

Any help? I'm a newbie to TDI tuning having spent thousands on Subaru's.

Thanks, I thought that was the case. If I go for uprated injectors from darkside, will I hit that sort of figure with the turbo I have?

If u get bigger injectors then the turbo will be the limiting factor.

In my country, a Gtb1756 with a std cam and Pd130 injectors pushes out +-180kw.

Whats the specs of ur turbo?

So we'll that's basically a stock turbo frame with a 56mm wheel..

I personally didn't try that particular turbo setup before, but I honestly think that it's not gonna be good enough.

Hmm, this is what happens when you buy stuff and then change your mind later on about what you're trying to achieve.

Yep, happens to everybody buddy.. Also, power is addictive, we tend to get greedy lol

I say sell the turbo u have and look for a Gtb2260. That will meet ur expectations, will actually give u more power than u want. They abit pricey but worth every cent

With a gtb2260, darkside Injectors and a race cam u will Definitely pass 300hp with ease

My tuner here gets 300hp with just the turbo and fmic, std Injectors and std cam, no nos.
The car is a daily runner with no issues.

All depends on the guy behind the pc lol

You know what, I think I'll just stick with what I have, get it all together and see what it makes. The main thing is, it's not the injectors holding things up.

That turbo looks like it could work for nice little Golf 4motion project though...

Yeah try it out..

From my experience, on PD100 engines with "AG" injectors which are 425cc if I'm not mistaken, and a Pd130 turbo (Bv39b) the injectors max out at about 130kw.

Yeah buddy. Try it out then u know what's going on.

I heard of instances where the compressor wheel is too big for the frame size of the turbo, u get boost creep.

Even though the ARL turbo is a gt17, that frame is smaller than a GTB17. And a 56mm compressor wheel might be a little big for it.

I guess there's only 1 way to find out unless somebody else has already paid the school fees.
Have a look at the tdi forums I'm sure somebody has tried that setup already.
