Been years since , but little turbo advice please

Been absolutely years since I’ve been on here
But I’ve come back round to deisels again and although kids and life
Got in the way of cars, I now what’s looks like a turbo shaft on its way
Out and old habits die hard , so instantly I’m thinking upgrade ��
It’s a scirroco 2.0bkd engine round port I think ,
Much as it pains me to say but I dont want to afford clutch intercooler upgrades
So not going mental was thinking upgrade 17/22 from va turbo or similar I think that’s in it now
It’s mapped already running around 180bhp , thought 200-210 keeping tourque low and spread across the power band would keep clutch happy
So if I stick 17/22 hybrid in there I assume should be plug and play
Running probably programmed 18-22 psi already (but don’t know the map )
will this seem laggy on 17/22 until properly set up or be fine until I get time to set up right with 4 bar map

17/22 aren’t available like they use to be since Garrett stopped making them. Gtb turbos are better anyways and probably last longer than a 17/22.

Lots of hybrid options there. Think 4th generation vnt and ceramic ball
bearings, some with liquid cooling.

GTD1752VRK. You will not regret it.

^ haven't heard from this guy in a while and I miss his insightful threads. He knows what's up so listen to him

Cheers Guys there are still some 17/52 or 17/56 hybrids for sale I think
Just wanted plug and play dont intend to turn the scirroco into another one of my many projects , so don’t want the headache of gtb new downpipe and pipework as don’t have the time with my job now to do it myself , so as most mechanics look at me with dread if I ask them to fit non standard parts , thought off the shelf hybrid might be best
I agree gtd turbo brilliant spool for a big turbo
but actually kinda like old school Vnt on this scirroco must be getting old ��

Get in touch with Frans, they're still making the 17/22.

If and when my 17/22 bites the dust I'll be going with TDIMeister's
recommendation, or the GTD1756vrk

Every time I consider the replacement my '04 BEW will eventually need, I usually think, 'I will just settle for a VNT17'...and then it gets difficult as what it really deserves is a GTD1752VRK. Car is never going to get turned up past what a G60 Sachs will stand, but it is what I want...LOL

Thing is I had 300hp bmw with gtd 5th gen turbo in it and although it was really fast and reliable how can I say it without sounding like an idiot but it was too smooth , I actually had
The tuner put a map to over fuel just before the second turbo come in so I could feel the
Hit of boost , then soon as I got back into an old vnt system with a map absolutely loved the way it crudely give me a shove in the back coming on boost , must be just getting old
But quite honestly that’s why I’d rather stick with a vnt hybrid for bit more power than go gtb or gtd , course I don’t know what there like on these common rail tdi , but on the bmw
You had to engineer fun ��
