Hi,
SO make sure whe you go to the scrapyard that the turbo outlet pipe is oriented the same as your cars. Otherwise, you could spend money having an expert re orientate it or make a complete mess of it yourself.
I guess the question you need to ask is haver you got a couple of grand to spend...
Hi the meister,
Thanks for the quality replies.
Torque is able to be limited electronically to a max per specific gear.
Example, audi a8 4.0 tdi 275ps 650 nm, audi a8 4.2 tdi 326ps 650nm - same gearbox probably limited by torque convertor.
Best wishes

Hi,
There is lots on info out there on pd100 improvements.
For a start if you search briskoda and othger sites you will find my pd100 skoda fabia uprated turbo and injectors to 180 bhp and 300 lb ft.
Research is key.
BTW, I wish I had used a gt1749vb turbo from arl not gt1749va from pd130 asz

I agree completely tdimeister. The car with peak torque at 5000rpm would be a nightmare to drive a bit like a streaming honda vtec engine?
Tdimeister if you tune the car say from 480 lb ft at 1800 rpm to 600 lb ft at 2100 rpm what would be the effect on performance if the bhp remained the same...
Hi,
I got the car test software to work on a friends pc. Interesting graphics!
It recorded a 0-60 mph of 7.2 secs whereas the 1-100 km official figure is 6.7 secs and the letstorquebhp calculator gave 0-60mph of 7.43 secs. It's getting nearer the official stat.

Hi, I would highly recommend Fernando at EMT/ Powerspeed who produces the remaps.
I had mine remapped and it has the smoothest, most progressive power delivery and am estimating around 220bhp and 300 lb ft torque from 1.9 tdi pd130 asz engine with large intercooler and '1756' turbo.
