Title: Turbo replacement 2.0 TDI...
Post by: DanBoy on April 09, 2012, 05:14:47 pm
I'm going to be ordering up a hybrid turbo this week with the fitting kit from Turbo Technics, is there anything else thats worth replacing at the same time? My car is the 2.0 TDI 140 (BKD) engine, I shall be replacing the oil and filter too but not sure if there is anything else that needs to be done  :happy2:

As long as you a e the gaskets and a new oil feed pipe you will be fine. Could blank off the EGR and bin the egr cooler wile you are there.

Well the hybrid turbo and fitting kit is costing me £550 as I get a little bit of discount by purchasing it through work, I was going to get the EGR deletion kit from Darkside developments but won't fit that till I get a new map so that can be done in one hit, I'll purchase a new feed pipe too so thats another part to sort  :happy2:

I'm guessing it could be gunked up with crud if its anything like my old Octavia, but my car has done quite a few miles so won't hurt to replace  :smiley:
