Tdi sleeper

AJP:
Looks like a nice map. What made you go for the 1756 over a 2260? Would you need more hardware upgrades?

Anyway, I can imagine that drives very nicely. Funny how there doesn't seem to be a huge difference in the curves of a GTB BKD and a k03 GTI at similar power. The petrol car will obviously rev a bit more, but I reckon your car would have a good go against mine (maybe before the Stage 2 map)

Joelewis55:
Not really any major plans for bodywork atm, I like the idea of it being a bit of a sleeper.
Went for that turbo because I feel like it's all I need, ticked all the right boxes.
Yeah a friend who not a fan of diesels said it feels like a petrol. The way it Rev's and picks up.
I'm looking for gti rear brake setup if anyone knows of anything for sale? cheers Joe

Andy:
looks good Joe and the like the graph of the new turbo

Hi @Joelewis55 loving that dyno printout! I'm in the dilemma where I don't know if I should go GTB2260 on tubular manifold initially with standard injectors for around 230BHP with the prospect of 300BHP with +120% injectors and Sachs SRE clutch next year, or just be sensible and go cast manifold + 1756 and stock clutch with similar figures to you. I guess your turbo and map has cost less than 1000 quid?

Cheers

Stu

Done some more bits to this recently, need to take a few more pictures but here's what I've done.
Firstly I had a boost hose split, the turbo outlet pipe so replaced that, pictures also show the insert I removed to fit onto the larger turbo.


Then I got a 2.5" straight through exhaust system (to match the 2.5"decat downpipe) made with a single silencer and a centre hidden tip. Still need to get photos of this but it makes a nice sound especially with the popcorn limiter. Although not too loud when normal driving so perfect really!
But I was still losing boost so I got an s3 alloy intercooler and fitted that. No pic's but you all know what it looks like and it's hidden anyway.
Then my clutch started slipping and dual mass was rattling. Ive done 10,000 miles since bigger turbo was fitted, unknown milage on standard clutch but I have done 35,000 on it with between 180bhp and 250bhp (140bhp standard). So I fitted a darkside billet single mass and sachs race clutch kit.

Pedal is heavier and you do get a rattle at idle up to around 1500rpm then it dissappear's.
Diffinately felt a big difference with this cars pulls a lot harder. So with this fitted I can go back for mapping adjustments at Narco.
Hopefully with the less restricted exhaust, s3 intercooler and new clutch + flywheel set up I can get a few more ponies and torque should increase from 320lb/ft to around 400lb/ft!
Still keeping it stealthy


Future plans after mapping on Monday are to do a top end rebuild, as engine has done 100,000miles now. So will be replacing all gaskets and seals cleaning head ports etc and also adding darkside developments stronger valve springs as it likes to rev so much. Contemplated arp head studs but don't think they are worth it.
Let me know what you think, I will post pictures of exhaust and new dyno figures on Monday hopefully.
