I saw a 1.9tdi getting a better turbo, I instantly clicked. I am a simple man.

Much love from a fellow mk4

Unusual to see in states to use darkside but nothing better to buy from one of the best diesel tuners in Europe. They sell everything you'll need to turn you TDI to a rocket and with some help with injectors and as well as 11mm element on the mechanical pump you'll be driving it all smiles all day long.
Nice build

Weird seeing an American installing this kit, these lads are just round the corner from where I live and they're some of the best in the business.

Cant wait to see where this build goes.

From a fellow 1.9tdi mk4 golf owner 😊

I've got an '03 Jetta TDI. Mines putting down around 140-ish hp but I'm planning on getting a turbo upgrade soon so it's nice to get an understanding of the process.

i have audi a4b5 1.9 66kw installed GT1749VA 96kw turbo and 2.5 103kw injectors full straight pipe little ecu update and now have about 135kw hope turbo will hold that :D

[diogo]

Get a custom tune. Otherwise u will not have the full potencial of that turbo. Otherwise u could have waited to install both the turbo kit and the nozzles at the same time

[danielhafner]

i recommend you to install some ARP head studs to prevent headlift and destroy your headgasket, i know this from my own failures😅
and nice to see someone not living in europe who is tuning his tdi😀

[gabeos]

This is awesome, looking forward to see the progress on this build.

Love how clean cars stay in america. Here in the UK that would be rusty as hell and an absolute pig to take apart without snapping a lot of bolts.

[Jeffers]

I recommend trimming the plastic that sticks out on the radiator housing where the FMIC pipe presses up against. It helps it sit further back so you can cut less of the bumper off and with any luck get the grill back in.

I'll be doing this to my VW Caddy 1.9 tdi. It's tuned but I want a bigger turbo, headers, injectors, fuel pump and better pipes

[mkguy]

I had turbo from pd130 with intake manifold and air pipe and injectors from 2.5 tdi with tune( on stock parts) and it was pulling really good

[igniux]

Heck yes. 1.9TDI content. Subscribed :)

[duncie]

the gtb1756 is way better than the gt1756 i have had them both on my 130pd and the gtb sounds way better and spools much faster!

[chrisleach]

Ok, i see you did the turbo and intercooler first 🤦‍♂️😆 my bad haha good to see you're using darkside developments, they were the guys who did the dyno tune on my car - small world!

[jessiefurr]

I just installed a vnt17 on my alh jetta and I love it

[mrdynamic]

[nicholassilvestri]

I’m planning on putting a 1756 kit in my 2.0 cjaa. Looking at the Xman kits and they look well built too, just not as flashy as the darkside lol. 👋🏼from Michigan
