as far as im aware, the pd100 (our ones) has a garrett gt1525 (i think) and the pd130's in the tdi sportline in south africa, as far as i have read, are the garrett gt1749va. but ive read alot of people in ZA complaining that these turbos like to blow, and they recommend the gt1749vb (same as in golf 2.0 tdi, im pretty sure) as a good, reliable upgrade.
420nm- if that's the case, then that's sweet- looks like our stock cars really SHOULD be able to handle a modest stage one retune, and then some (exhaust, ic upgrades etc).
I'd be interested to see how our stock turbos hold out/ how many clicks they hold out for, with different tunes.
are you guys planning on waiting until your turbo blows to upgrade? or pre-emptively changing turbos before that happens?
