So the news that I know you all have been waiting for I have decided on a turbo and ordered it.

It is a GTB1856VK hybrid designed/spec'd for the vag 1.9TDI engines that share similar fuel pumps to the L series, but do flow more top end than us for some reason.

once all mapped up and new injectors, it should crack the 200bhp barrier with a little spare overheads. but until then, will mean I can use the car without blowing the HG... which is an improvement in my book over anything!

Will be fitting it with a custom manifold rather than an adaptor plate, and finally sorting the airbox side of things out as well, as the intake will not be a direct fit.

Work is currently scheduled for Sept, so I dont have long to get all the pieces together!

Oh and didn't pick the 2056, as could not find one I wanted to use!
