MK4 1.9 PD100 2003
Hi All,

I've recently got a 2003 1.9 TDI Pd100 mk4 and want to get an intercooler and turbo upgrade.

Upgrades on cars is all new to me so I've been trying to do as much research as I can.

I understand you can upgrade to the pd130 or pd150 turbo but will have max-out injectors if Im correct.

There is also VGT Turbo which is more for turbo spool which I what I am interested in if I'm also correct about that and there are hybrid turbos.

I'm trying to understand which turbo is best suited for the MK4 pd100 to create a turbo spool and power.

This is a daily car at the moment so I'm not looking to go crazy high on horsepower.

I know this is quiet dragged out but just trying to get an understanding.

Thanks for the help in advance

You'd get 150bhp or so with a straight map but it depends what you're aiming for, the more power the more money it costs.

Stock turbos are about as good as you could want for spool. The bottom end is the limit at <2500rpm anyways. Some newer turbos make more power with the same spool but that is about it.

I agree, sounds like a tune could meet your goals.

For your stock injectors, you can chose the PD130 turbo, GT1749VA and use that at max or to buy the ARL one and use it at stock boost. after that, you might need a bigger intercooler, MAF...
After that you need remap. I can help you with that.

Your tuner should be able to limit the torque to make a stock clutch last if needed.
