I saw Charles' VNT install at POL, the manifold looked awesome but he was saying that you cant get to 2 of the bolts in the middle due to the pipe routing. He reports no leaks though.
If you are worried about soot, I'd go for the SDIs to be honest. Getting the 200 tdis completely smoke free with the VNT will take some real dyno time I would have thought. That said, I really do think its possible... really pleased with the way mine are performing at the moment.

The man commented below took the fuel out for me - was just a send off the ecu job, but I was getting fed up of the HG risk, so put something safer in place.
I might be able to get the manifold fitted a bit easier with the ZS - bit more space to play with - it was fitted on a test engine, so it must be doable - just a case of the right tools to do it maybe *don't know*
Yeah I am really in two minds about this one - the turbo is 200+ capable (more like 240 on the vag's) so It can take more fuel than the SDi's can deliver... as you rightly say though it is going to take quite some sessions on the road/dyno to get the two working in harmony.
the fact you were able to take the fuel out and get a decent haze only suggests that it is not base atomisation at fault here - it is not great, but it is not 'too bad' either.... so something we can work with... i think with the progressive throttle elements can get round the soot issues personally - both in mapping and use of right foot...
Oh and Dakta - no need to rush, nothing to be fitted until the parts are made - so i'll hang on for now
