Its gonna be a MUTHER of a turbo!

devonutopia · 19-07-2005, 19:33

An issue that arose today with my new turbo gave me a real feeling of "YES!" - sounds a bit backward I know, but I was comparing the turbo inlet pipes from the OEM PD130 turbo, and the one on the hybrid.... Suffice to say the reducer that takes the megafat airflow pipework into the turbo inlet is NEVER going to fit on the hybrid inlet.

Its just HUUUUGE!

My mate is going to source out some rubber hose which will fit - I guestimate the inlet is around 10mm+ wider in diameter than the OEM turbo's was.

God damnit, I can't wait to get this baby running now!

sounds very good

How long till you get it installed?

Well, the turbo is fitted, its the small matter of connecting all its pipework to eveything else.

You have to wait!

In all seriousness I only have one fuzzy shot of the FMIC installed with bumper mounting bar hacking out...

When you finish it will you have lots of pics of everything done?

Yeah - I'm having a long weekend to hopefully re-wire the engine bay loom, then get it all running. Its all coming together though. The new hubs and bearings are in and attached to the driveshafts and brake discs + calipers. I'll keep the camera handy.

All starting to look more like a car now, than a chassis with a big gap in the engine bay.

It will follow. I'm going to be offering a Briskoda only offer of PD130 conversions on Fabia TDIs.

Optional FMIC/Turbo?Clutch of course.

Jase, you'll also have to tell us which insurance company will happily insure such a beast
