VNT for a Rabbit?
 

What size would be good for a 1.6? Most people are running a little over 30PSI.


Rabbit will be getting Full ARP fit, FMIC, turbo pistons (overbored) with oil squirters, high flow oil pump, ACT twin-disk clutch and full 2.5 inch turboback exhaust, Giles injection.




I'm looking for 240HP. The car is a perfect roadrace/autoX shell - virtually NO rust (much worth building.)

A 2056 or 2256.

about what RPM should I see full boost?


how taxing are they on oil pressure/volume?

Talk to the guys on the VW GTD forum. http://www.vwdiesel.net/phpBB/

why, your the VNT expert!

Thats just the turbo, they know far more about the VW engines than I do.

IIRC someone used the VNT15 off of an ALH (1.9 as fitted to the US spec 1999-2003 cars) and it worked quite well. The one in my TDI is making 8 psi by 1600 rpm and full boost at 2100 rpm.

to small.



semi size it.

You'll never get that much out of a 1.6l. Maybe an "ALH" or newer TDI.

it has been done.



giles pump + VNT/IC will go far. Getting a TDI transplanted is tough - the ECU is part of the instrument cluster and the wiring is intense.

I'd be very interested in seeing this. Any links, info???

about half way down, he hits just below 200WHP and 8k RPM.



Non-vnt turbo, smaller 9mm giles pump (I may want that 14mm pump...)
