O.k. I've owned 2 fdi`s. I have decent mostly pre turbo and gas hands on wrenchinng experience. But... I have limited technical expertise as far as putting together a setup with turbo A/R, trim etc. I want to throughly understand a turbos nomenclature(?) to properly fit the correct specification turbo and a few pertaining questions related to adding a setup to my freshly built 1,6 N/A i.d.i. Engine in a 1983 mk1 pickup. I'm probably starting with a BAE kit for the i.d.i. diesel, consisting of a Rajay turbo that needs going thru (A/R & trim unknown, still being shipped) along with the intake & exhaust. I bought it for a good price so it is possible to go alot of different ways. I want the power in the drivable low to mid range.
Turbo guru input appreciated, invited and needed! Let's start with.
* Prox and cons of la larger, medium or smaller A/R for my above stated build.
* what is a good definition of "trim"?
* Pros and cons of small/large trim #. I.E. 0.50 v 1.15 ... or is that A/R?
