would fitting an intercooler from an s3, without other modifications improve the performance, i am looking to install custom exhaust turbo back shortly, so would the intercooler and exhaust be sufficient or am i looking at turbo upgrades etc?
your advice would be appreciated

Having done circa 1500 miles on themsince fitting i can say you'll be fine with the sportlines, once the shockers bed into there new lower stance they perform well.
I've done about 31000 miles since new, 10 months (ish) ago lol

The 140 and 170 are different units, the 170 has a bigger turbo and a DPF.
I've had a DPF removal pipe fitted with a map to suit.

would be nice to see a TDI taken to the next level performance wise :happy2: get it done :P

As Cal says, you will need to be spending some cash to have over 200+ from what i belive out of the 140.
But it would be good to see it done.
A hybrid turbo,panel filter, egr delete, bigger intercooler and cat free exhaust would be the route i'd go if i had the 140

FAIL (but mainly due to me forgetting about looking into it haha)

They do bolt straight in, but the pipe work might need alittl adjusting.
I'm currently on the hunt for the current spec S3 intercooler as they are bigger than the one fitted std to mine.
As i said above :
A hybrid turbo,panel filter, egr delete, bigger intercooler and cat free exhaust
That should see you over the 200 mark with the right map
Exhaust wise, miltek are popular. But you will need to get a custom down pipe made as there aren't any for diesels that i would use.
ONly the miltek DPF delete pipe, but thats isn't suited to your car

Thanks for this advice,
already on the route with a custom turbo back exhaust system being fitted in 6 weeks (thats how long their waiting time is), made by a company in Newcastle specialising in titanium and stainless exhaust systems, so hopefully that will aid the breathing.
Sportlines and Panel Filter being fitted on thursday.
Have you fitted your EGR from allard yet, if so have you noticed the improvement?
Thanks for the Advice NN, nice to come across someone with a good knowlege of Dirty Diesels
Would i need to fit both the intercooler and turbo together, orcould one be done without the other and if so which of the 2 would be better to begin with?
I know i am asking maybe too many questions, but thanks in advance for any answers that can be given!
Regards
Shaun
cal tdi:
we need a diesel tuning thread really
but intercooler before big turbo for sure! you wouldnt want a big turbo with no extra cooling in place

You can fit the turbo before the I/C but your intake temps will be alittle higher after prolonged use thus not benifing full, but this is only after a good spirited run
