What is your power goal ?
I've managed 290@620nm out of a mates bnz but it required injectors, ic, exhaust and the turbo.

 

Festa......just the man!
Wow that some 'upgrade'.
I'm looking at keeping standard injectors for now (unless you know of a cheap/reasonable priced set)
I was looking at 200bhp which will be a nice power gain after 9 years at 130!
So any views on turbo, I want similar spool up times.
With a billet wheel it should help I believe.
Any experience with the ebay jobs
Thanks

 

TURBOCHARGER 760698 VOLKSWAGEN TRANSPORTER T5 2.5 BNZ *Billet Wheel* 210 BHP

UPGRADED HYBRID TURBO CHRA 760699 Volkswagen T5 Transporter 2.5 TDI 174 BHP CORE

 

The 130 will have a smaller turbo thanthe 174 but it is more restrictive. The bigger turbo will have more puff but it will be a trade off with a bit of lagg. It's not going to be a huge margin but noticeable. I wouldn't bother hybriding the bnz as you'll get 200 out of the bpc with the standard injectors. If you want more then do the injectors ....get some bpc injectors as these will be good for 250-260 and any more get the bpc injectors modified with larger nozzles (farrid 50's) and that would see the 290, your could always find v10 injectors as these have a bigger nozzle from standard and should still see 290. Turbo would have to be a hybrid gtb1856 which tdi turbo's in verwood put together with known components with a warranty. There akso setup correctly on a flow bench. Ic would be either a forge, wagner or airtec but other generic ic's could also do as well. Exhaust ppt for a 2.5" with a single box. Dump the bnz camshaft and fit an axd/axe as the profile is different
This is Simons van at Snetterton having a shake down.

 

Thanks for this very helpful. The v10 injectors, Toureg?
Funny spoken with tdi turbos but seemed price was top-end imo.
Interesting about the camshaft, would really only look to do that if it was worn, however is the cam timing the same and what benefit is there to the swap, more inlet duration?
Bet that embarrasses some 'sports car' drivers!
Cheers

 

Anyone have any experience with the turbo below?

Melett GTB1752VK BPC PD172 2.5 TDI Turbocharger


Or any one got a BPC turbo in perfect nic for sale?

 

HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!please
OK so thing were going great then I got a limp mode and engine light on!
On checking I saw the stop screw on the actuator for the vacuum for VNT had fallen out.....
So fitted another and I've been adjusting it but still on occasion get limp mode.
fault code 000665-Boost pressure regulation P0299-000-control range not reached-mil on????
Symptoms, if I rev the engine in gear(s) to 3k seems of, however don't rev and short shift especially up hill and limp-mode.
Any ideas on how I can set this correctly please?
Thank you

 

Turbo off a BPC, ecu will handle it immediately and you can remap later at your convenience.

Did it with mine never yet got round to the rempap.

Good warrantied recon unit should run you around 300.

 

An gtb1856 will get you 290 with the injector upgrade but that's a hybrid turbo. You won't get 300bhp from a standard bpc

 

300, as in 300 quid

 

LOLLOL mis read. I did think at the time your pushing your luck.

 

So thanks for the replies but I'm a little confused:*.
My issue is the stop screw on the vacuum actuator dropped out and I've now got random limp mode.
No issues before this running like a dream, van had been mapped to suit changes
I've fitted another stop screw but obviously not got it set right.
Is there a way to set it?
Thanks again

 

You can do it but you will need vagcom...basic settings in engine 011 and you need to look at the differetual pressure produced on boost and off boost.I think from memory the pressure needs to be between 120-160mb. If the vanes are closed too much then it will choke the engine and if the vanes are too far open it will go to under boost

 

isnt the actuator arm suppose to fully rest at the stop screw at 18 vacum pressure
