Last week we had the Royal Marines contact us enquiring about a service and repair of the turbo from a Pinzgauer High-Mobility All-Terrain Vehicle which has been mobilised to help during this coronavirus outbreak.

Being a second generation Pinzgauer the engine was a VW 2.4 inline six with a Garrett T3 turbocharger.

Yep, that’s me!

The Alfa Romeo 1.9 JTDm comes with 170bhp and 243lb/ft of torque, a stage 1 remap takes that up to 207bhp and 312lb/ft.

VW Polo 1.2 TSi

You can’t go far wrong with the VW Polo when choosing a small car and the 1.2 TSi engines are a peach for tuning. With nothing more than a remap these engines push out a reliable 130bhp along with 155 lb/ft of torque suddenly making these a bit of a hot hatch yet still only £20 per year to tax!

Our MDX585 GT1749V Hybrid for the 150hp Z19DTH Vauxhall Astra is a big leap forward in power and general performance. This turbo is good for a reliable 250bhp but also comes with a high flow 56mm billet compressor wheel upgrade to help reduce lag.

The VW Amarok 2.0 Bi-Turbo diesel engine is a good performer with its 180bhp but it's not without its problems. A search through forums will reveal several issues, the most common being heavy oil consumption due to wear in the cylinders. Unfortunately, this oil consumption is often mistakenly blamed on the turbochargers, to further complicate matters this wear in the cylinders can also lead to oil contamination which will then cause the bearings in the turbos to fail. At Turbo Dynamics we have a wealth of experience with these turbos and can refurbish them to an as new condition from £195+vat each. We will also diagnose what the cause of the failure most likely was. We also offer an upgrade for those of you looking to reliably increase your power output. The upgrade is to the larger K04 turbo and includes a billet compressor wheel, 360-degree thrust bearing and cut back to the turbine wheel. Prices for the hybrid upgrade start at £395+vat per turbo, depending on the condition of the turbo you supply us.

The McLaren MP4-12C utilises two Mitsubishi turbochargers to help extract around 600bhp from its 3.8 litre V8 engine, though clearly for some people, this is just not enough!

Turbo Dynamics has been working with JM Imports to develop a set of hybrid turbos that should see quite significant power gains once fitted and mapped in. The upgrades include a bespoke Garrett GT29 CHRA fitted with a custom 71mm GTX Gen II based compressor wheel.

The Audi RS3 and TT-RS share the same awesome turbocharged 2.5 litre, five-pot engine that uses a BorgWarner K16 turbo, these turbos work hard but are pretty reliable, they're also ideal for hybrid performance upgrades. Give us a call today to see what we can do for you!

The earlier 2.0 tdci Ford Kuga, Mondeo, Focus and S-Max all shared the same engine and Garrett turbocharger. We offer a hybrid performance upgrade on these which, along with a good remap and supporting mods, should see you comfortably past 200bhp yet still give you great response and reliability. Prices from just £395+vat including a 1-year warranty.
