I bought a 2260vzk from Europe to replace my 2056 I was wondering what is the max safe power ? And or boost ? Will I notice the upgrade difference or did I waste my money

I've been running 2,1bar (2,2bar spike) with gtb2260vk on 2,7 tdi for about 9 months now no prob. Main thing is EGTs etc. I remember tdituning.fi ran about 2,3 bar on 3,0 TDI. So I think VZK can probably do at least 2,3 maybe bit more.

Usually they can make about 330-340 hp max but watch EGT.
2.3 bar is optimistic i think.

I know one running EGT at 1050+ degrees C but its not gonna last long.

I just came across this post and am looking to do something similar. Does it bolt-on directly in place of the 2056VZK no modifications needed?
