My car is a 2006 TDI, BRM engine, with the 5 spd manual. Just rolled over 193k miles. I have noticed that my turbo is leaking exhaust by the shaft for the wastegate actuator. This is my daily driver, I'm not looking for big power gains, need to keep it intact for fuel economy. What I would like to know is: What other turbo options can this stock engine run, aside from an OEM turbo, that won't lift the head? What kind of boost pressure do these engines handle before killing the head gaskets?? I don't know if someone has gone down this path before or knows who I should try to contact to find helpful information? Any help would be appreciated! TIA
