I am currently working on a 1.9tdi PD130 engine running on the standard Garret VNT17 VA turbo which begins boost at just under 2000rpm, this is fun... but also now feels very slow. Also before this had a VNT15 which began boost at around 1700rpm which was a great daily driver but in a 0-60scenario has no where near enough boost.
So...
I will now be fitting a GTB2260VK during the engine rebuild so that the engine will be tuned at around 250bhp but with the potential for 300bhp once that feels slow.
My question is has anyone found a reasonable solution for the boost lag with these larger turbos as I have heard some don't even begin to boost until 3000rpm!!!
This is going to be a daily driver but also used as my fun car.
Any knowledge or ideas would be great
