Recommended Posts

I have fitted a plug in tuning box today, going to use this until i put the modified turbo on and get it mapped properly.Going off the results of this tuning box i think i am going to be happy with the end result as it is now goes like stink for a tdi just with the box fitted

Also thanks for all the positive comments on the conversion

What did the engine come out of a mk4 golf or a seat ibiza?

did you not find it a tight squeeze trying to get everything to fit, i no a guy who did a pd130 conversion into a mk3 golf and had to relocate the battery to the boot,

oh and what clocks you using?

I mirror everybodies words, this is such a good conversion and i'm pleased its pretty local, so i can get a good look at it at a meet in the near future.

some parts of the engine are from a golf, others are from a passat (cylinder head)

It was a bit of a tight fit, Had to notch the leg on the ns to clear the 6 speed box,going to remake the lower gearbox dogmount as i am not happy it

Also finding the powerflex insert is very harsh.

I am using lupo gti clocks

Hello Mr PD150

when you get a chance would you mind posting up the VW part numbers for the mounts you used , i would also would be interested in knowing what you done for drive shafts did you have to get custom made ones or have you made up a VW hybrids using the lupo shaft and the inner cv from the Golf .

Thanks Karl

Ps have you timed the car for 0- 60

50 - 70 and so on although i am guessing that it will be seriously quick accelerating once above 30 mph ! :blink:

Hi, I will dig out the part numbers when i get into work tomorrow, I used a mk3 golf tdi shaft for the drivers side (100mm inner joints to match the 02S gearbox that i used) with the lupo outer joint fitted,perfect length.I had to shorten a passenger side shaft by a couple of inches and again used lupo outer joint and 100mm inner.

Not sure what kind of times this thing would pull,but they should be reasonable

I thought that the PD150 lump had the bigger ( vnt 17 ) turbo that was good for 220 ish coulnt tell you how long it would last though , as i have a PD130 lump in my garage with two ECUs one which has been de coded and mapped for about 215 Bhp but i need to change the turbo from the 130 ( vnt 15 ? ) to the 150 ( vnt 17 ) which i have also got stashed away .

So Mr PD150 what turbo will you be going for and how much Bhp are you going to run with it ?

I also ment to ask why you ditched the EGR buisness ?

Did you think about getting a re map to 180 standard turbo should be reliable at that level . ( for the meantime )

Both the 130 ASZ ans the 150 ARL have vnt 17's just different versions thats all.

Just trying to do a deal on a hybrid turbo at the moment, would like around 350lbft.

220 bhp out of a ARL turbocharger, thats a bit optimistic

Should be able to get around 195bhp from the 150pd engines.

Also - The 150 and 130 both use the same turbo charger.

Its a vnt 17/20 hybrid from allard, Should be good for 200+hp and 340+lbs/ft

I will get this fitted soon with a different gearbox with a taller diff as i am finding the gearing touran unit far too low

Nice... Thats pretty much what I'm after for the bora :)

I'm guessing the compressor housing is off the VNT20, and the exhaust side of the 17?

Lag much

We will see but it starts making boost at around 1100rpm now with a standard turbo,there has been alot of people drive it since the conversion and none of them can believe how responsive it is at the moment
