2004 pd wagon. New to me. I have a used sprinter turbo in good shape I’m looking to use to keep costs down. Will use a bigger side mount, pd150 intake, upgraded piping, etc. anyone try before? Maybe and maybe I missed as I have searched. Or should I just get a tried and true vnt-17. Lastly there’s “clubseatibiza” from Poland on eBay with some attractive priced gtb 2056. What to do. Would like most reliable power for money on stick injectors. I also have an alh with pp764,tune, etc that I’m happy with power wise for reference. (Although that’s getting. A bigger turbo and re tune also?) thanks in advance jesse

I've got a gtb2056 under the hood dam good turbo but if I had to do it all over again i'd get a drop in/bolt up and be done with it vnt17 or for the brm guys the pd140 I think is the 150ish power upgrade. bolt in turbo, clutch, tune and call it a day.....gets way too expensive for the diminishing returns after that imo.
