I currently have a B8 A4 3.0 TDI quattro remapped by Rick at Unicorn Motor Developments. Made 312bhp and 720Nm of torque on the dyno at MRC.The engine is a CAPA engine code.
It has a DPF/EGR delete and is running the standard turbo.
It has an upgraded intercooler and some exhaust mods but is basically running the standard exhaust with the DPF /Cat gutted so still passes current MOT's in the UK.
I have fitted a WMI system that I use at Santa pod/ GTI international etc and on the odd time the car sees some track action. Current best 1/4 time is 13.3s at 104mph. There is a build thread here with pictures and videos.

Having been dabbling with diesels for quite a few years now I have always found this forum very useful, and a lot of the users on here extremely knowledgeable and helpful, and have noticed a few of you have had dealings with this or the 2.7TDI engine.
I have bought another standard 2060VK turbo the same as fitted to the car at the moment. I would like to upgrade it with a larger MFS /billet compressor wheel and am looking for around 360bhp. I know I will lose some of the low end performance I have at the moment but the question is how big a compressor wheel to fit ?. 6 +6 or GTX 11 blade or is there no real difference.
I don't really want to fit a larger turbine if I can get away with it as I know that will definately slow the spool. The same I believe of cutback turbines.
The current map peaks around 1.8 bar at 3K rpm and this is down to just over 1.6 bar at 4K RPM , fuelling looks to be about 80mg/str at peak power.Fuel pressure is running at 1800 bar.
So if you have had some dealings with tuning these engines or have any ideas on what Is needed to get to around 360bhp but still maintain as much driveability as possible it would be great to here from you.
