Xr6 regs are German made..well mine was and are about the same bar. The aftermarket one from Tas is def hit n miss..2 have failed on me in 2 years.
Turbo is in and so far I have noticed less de-cat whistle on idle and above..mmm I liked that whistle too.
On driving it is obvious that pressure rises earlier in the rev range but tops out the same as the original.
Take off in the auto is slightly improved as is kick down with a little more push evident and at less throttle opening.
I guess with std tune not much else could be expected.
Overall despite the loss of whistle and as a replacement I would recommend it esp since the price n service is sooo good.
Highway test tomorrow which will tell more as on the hilliest bit I can easily hold 100 kph without kick down at @19psi boost.

Just search for xr6 fuel reg 4 bar..fits sraight in. Yes it is for petrol but so far as I know it suits diesel as well.
Try to get the German one not chinesium.
..oops sorry for repeating the info already provided

Sorry, massive thread dig....
Looking at rebuilding my turbo in a few months, as mine is not in the best shape, how are these going 6 years+ down the track?
Anyone still around here with the upgraded Turbo Rebuilds CHRA?
A simple upgrade from stock would be nice, thought about VNT and all that but realistically, for what I want and use the D2 for, just a nice little extra is all I really need with enough room for a bit of a tune a little further down the track once I get everything else sorted first (auto has 380,000km on it and is showing signs of abuse)

VNT/VGT definitely better, but if you only need a replacement or something with a whisker better specs, the ones from turbo rebuild are good.
No issues on the quality front and do have slightly better performance than the stock one.
If anyone ever needed to replace their TD5 turbo and were going to go genuine, I'd definitely be suggesting/insisting to just go this way.
Thanks Shack
That's pretty much what I was thinking, I don't need crazy HP just a bit more than stock. Also I can do this myself at home.
I'm also thinking the difference will be very noticeable as the current turbo is getting pretty tired coupled with a lazy/worn auto makes for a very uninspiring drive, plus I'm also running 265/70/17 BFG's so that doesn't help either.
cheers
