Hi, i have a 2009 ibiza with the 1.6 tdi 90 engine and chipped to 150hp (egr & dpf delete) for 2 years now.

I am looking to increase its power, i have seen a lot of people doing 190-200hp with a bigger turbo especially and I ask you to advice me on which one I should install.

I heard about GTC1549VZ (CR170) and GTD1449VZ (CR184). Here are my questions about it :

1) What is the difference between the two?
2) Which one is the best to fit ?
3) Are there other bigger turbo that can fit the cayb engine ?
4) Something else to change for fitting them or just the turbo itself ?

Thank you!

Is your stock turbo KKK or Garrett?

KKK -> GTC1549VZ can be done if you take Vacuum actuator and oil lines from that GTC1549VZ (2.0CR).

Garrett -> GTC1549VZ can be done if you take vacuum actuator from your original 1.6TDI Garrett turbo. You may also need oil lines from GTC1549VZ (2.0CR).

I had 192bhp in 1.6TDI with GTC1549VZ (egr and dpf deleted).
