Is there a standard OEM turbo that I could swap out with the BLS version that I can use to increase power. Of course I would need different map etc, but is there a direct replacement or would I need to have one hybrided

You can fit any turbo from a Mk4 golf if you also use the downpipe, a PD150 one will be the best choice for direct bolt on.

I am not sure if the BLS engine has the turbo mounted upside down compared to typical PD TDI engines though. I think I have seen this on a VW Caddy 105HP PD TDI....

Yes the turbo is mounted upside down on my caddy! Top mount so to speak! No DBF mind! Its a 104bhp. Is there not a replacement. If I change to PD150, I would need different downpipe, intake is on the other side, boost out goes down over gearbox not down around by crank pulley,

Nope, I took a look in our Caddy 1.9PD TDI with engine code BLS today, its upside down, well actually its only upside, without down :D:D:D

And yes, intake is on the other side, turbine outlet on the passengers side (Who would have thought that d'oh:D )

So swapping over to a pd 150 turbo would need some more work.

Also the injectors are quite small on this engine, so a turbo upgrade is only half the rent....
