Darkside GTB (Cast Manifold) 220bhp or 240bhp Turbo Kit for 1.9 / 2.0 TDI Engines

Garrett GTB Turbocharger with Custom 2.5" Downpipe, Oil Lines, 4 BAR MAP Sensor

This Turbo Kit has a choice of Turbochargers with a Cast Manifold offering power figures of 220bhp or 240bhp for your 1.9 / 2.0 TDi

• Increase in performance
• Maintains economy and drivability

The Kit is designed to fit the following vehicles:

VW Golf Mk4
VW Beetle
VW Bora
VW Golf Mk5
VW Jetta
Audi A3 8L
Audi A3 8P
Seat Leon 1M
Seat Leon 1P
Seat Toledo
Skoda Octavia Mk1
Skoda Octavia Mk2

VW Polo 9N/9N2/9N3
Seat Ibiza Mk4
Seat Cordobra
Skoda Fabia Mk1

Included in the Kit:

GTB1756V Turbo (~220bhp) or Hybrid Killer Turbo (~240bhp)
Custom 2.5" Stainless De-Cat Downpipe
Braided Oil Feed and New Oil Return
4 BAR MAP Sensor

The power figures quoted are conservative, not exaggerated like others may quote. The GTB1756V is better in every way than other hybrids offered on the market at the moment. The spool on the GTB1749V will be similar to the standard turbocharger and more than adequate with the larger turbo for town use

Intercooler

When installing this kit we advise upgrading the Intercooler and Pipework. We have different kits listed here - https://www.darksidedevelopments.co.uk/intercoolers-and-pipes/
If you plan on keeping the stock pipework you may need to modify the hose connecting onto the turbo

Clutch

An upgraded clutch is advised but we have done quite a few of these conversions and 50% of the time the stock clutch holds, even with an aggressive tune!
As long as your Clutch and Flywheel are in good condition it should be okay

Injectors

The 1.9 TDI PD130 & PD150 models will max out at around 230bhp on the Stock Injectors
PD100, PD105 & PD115 engines will require PD150 Injectors to get past 170bhp - https://www.darksidedevelopments.co.uk/products/1-9-8v-tdi-pd150-arl-injector-set-038-130-073-al.html
90 & 110 VE Engines will also require Race Injector Nozzles with this turbo kit - https://www.darksidedevelopments.co.uk/products/hflo-x-race-nozzles-for-1-9-2-5-ve-engines.html

Head Bolts

For those with a PD100, PD105, PD115 or PD130 we strongly advise fitting the PD150 Head Bolts. This will prevent head lift which can lead to loss of coolant.
