2013 Passat
I have a 2013 Passat TDI and love it. It's amazing as I'm sure I don't have to tell this crowd. I'm going to take the money from diesel-gate and buy a newer 2015 TDI.

I've done some reading and car searching for a bi-turbo TDI. My 2013 has low end turbo lag which you get used to but when i read about a bi-turbo I got very excited. I'm pretty sure that these were only sold in Europe? I can't find any reference to them in the US and I can't easily find information on the VW website.

Is there a bi-turbo TDI for Passat (or another sedan)?

Thanks

Not that I've heard of, don't even think there is a dual scroll option for these VNT turbos. Usually the only option is just next size up CR170 turbo if you want to upgrade.

So much the same with 90% of what VW makes

... None :S
If your 2.0 TDI is laggy, something is broken. The turbo on these cars is itty bitty, and spools up right away.
