Faster spoolup turbo

[Newlandy]

My 110 TD5 battles at low revs but pretty impressive once the turbo kicks in.

I found this turbo in the UK that apparently spools up quicker. Has anybody else installed one of these and did it make a difference to driveability?

That's for a 10P motor, not a15P or 16P.
The price looks almost too good to be true. Have you checked out shipping cost?

Are the turbos different between Td5's?

[V8Ian]

Apparently. From the vendor's site:


452239-0003
452239-0005
452239-0006
452239-0008
452239-0009

I'm trying to determine which turbo I have.

TD5 turbos all the same.
Turbo rebuild are a great business to deal with and have been using them for years.

the hybrid turbo core is a good bit of kit and i fitted them to a lot of customers TD5, plenty of AULRO members here have also had good results.
most noticeable on a D2 auto TD5.
on a manual yeah still worth doing and way better priced than anything else, i'm sure if you do a search you will find past posts on them

I got one, for a 300TDi though, from them. Great service and well built bit of kit. Can't speak for the performance increase, as my original one was, err, toast so a hair dryer would have been an improvement.
