(BIG) Turbo upgrade for VAG diesel engine (TDI 1.9, 2.0) cheatsheet

by #GOTTUNED / Sunday, 27 May 2018 / Published in Hybrid Turbo

Dear Petrolheads,

We’ve received a lot of request for a combined list of turbo upgrades available for VAG diesel engines. You’ve waited enough. Here it is. At last.

Please realize, that in most cases in order to reach mentioned levels of power you would need to adjust your fuel, exhaust and cooling systems as well. When it comes to the longitudinal VAG engines (and most of the other diesel engines like Ford, Peugeot, Opel, Fiat, etc. as well) we can do the same upgrades but only with vacuum or electronic conversion (no welded manifold).  Please get in touch for the details.

VP + PD transverse engines.
