Golf GTTDI 140 2004 plate Turbo
subzero:
Im new to the diesel scene, and i apologise for this if its a repeat question but i need help
the turbo seems on way out,
so as i see it i have 3 options
1. standard replacement
2. rebuild, can it be upgraded from standard ? Cost? Who does it? more bhp?
3. hybrid turbo Cost?
im not after massive figures, already pulls well, wouldnt mind around 180-200 BHP
would appreciate all the help i can get,
Thanks Guys

I too have been looking into this.
A standard new replacement is quite expensive so I was looking at either a reconditioned unit or get your existing one reconditioned, around £300 I think.
A standard Turbo will cope with the power you want to achieve, with a remap (another £300!).
A hybrid is even more, around the £500 mark but has increased tuning potential, but other parts I'll ideally need adding/ upgrading too.
There a various well known companies who can recondition or hybrid your Turbo, such as cr turbos, turbo technics etc.
Finally you may be able to find a second hand unit for £150 - £200 although you may not be 100% about its condition.
Hope this helps, others may have more detailed info, but its a start.
