Title: BIG TURBO TDi?
Post by: thewez on October 01, 2011, 04:50:55 pm: Just wondered if there was anyone running a BIG turbo tdi, GTB2056 or GTB2260. Would be interested if on a cr, but go info if on any tdi.

Cheers,

Scott

Its just Im thinking about getting a 170 turbo and just want to make sure that its the correct option. All the big turbo tdi ive seen seem to have no bottom end, less than my 140 to approx 2500-3000 then the big turbos let rip. Not how I want to drive, but because they have bigger exhaust sides to the turbo's they in theory should give more mpg on the motorway?

It feels very good to drive low down and once in the turbo it just pulls, even at over 4k revs its still strong before changing gears the car still drives very much like OEM.

And the best thing it will return better MPG than OEM :laugh: a recent trip to Sheffield returned 59mpg :grin:
