Project 160+ HP Top Spec TDI

This is cool! So you had to use an N75 valve deisgned for a VNT, in order to match a 75bhp ecu and vacuum pipework to a VNT tubo. But you have fitted an ATL engine into a 75BHP, is that correct? Going to be a flying machine.

As an ATL owner I can confirm your appraisal of the extra smoothness and quicker spooling. Very please to hear an ATL has the larger head bolts clutch and larger oil cooler, very geeky facts, but re-assures me when ive gone to 120bhp on paper that I wont be stressing the car too much!

An Ecu Remap is also being done once the car is finished so make sure everything is calibrated properly and the car will be live data tuned on the road

Cool project, good luck with it. Make sure your tuner is good/has experience going from WG->VNT. Its not just a change a table in the ECU and be done. Actually have to swap the boost control mode over VNT which is slightly more effort.
 
Removed the ATL Engine From the donor car and all of its ancillaries. Removed, cleaned and re sealed the oil sump, cleaned out the carbon filled inlet ports along with the inlet manifold and then installed the Darkside Developments EGR Delete race pipe. Fitted the GT1749VB turbocharger all along with the Oil Feed and Return pipes, checked the camshaft and lifters for wear. Cleaned and painted the block. New cambelt and water pump this weekend.

Yeah I have fitted an ATL Engine into my 75hp car due to the stronger factory internals, but have retained the N75 setup the 75 uses rather than convert it to a Vacuum Box setup like an ATL. Just got a suitable N75 valve from a VNT car and will get it tuned to suit
 
hello, I like your engine modifications, I looked on the label of your intercooler to see the supplier but by going to their site, I did not see the reference that you have, can you tell me say more please

TDI120: My New Engine

Four years ago, with 156,000 miles on the clock, I started needing to top up my car’s coolant every ten days or so. The conclusion was that my cylinder head gasket had gone. I think I was unlucky, because this isn’t a common problem with the 1.4 TDI. In replacing the head gasket, it was noticed...

The intercooler is manufactured by Pro Alloy, but exclusively available through me, hence why you can’t find it on their website.

Hello fellow A2 owners, I can hardly believe that it's been nearly a year since I posted last year's version of this thread. This post is to inform everyone that I'll be out of the country, and possibly incommunicado, until the middle of October. On Saturday 19th August, I begin the long...
