draper40 Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 Hey, Tommorrow my 200tdi turbo is being sent off to be rebuilt. I also have the choice to have it upgraded at the same time. IS this worthwhile? Thanks Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GBMUD Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 I also have the choice to have it upgraded at the same time. IS this worthwhile? Depends on what it costs and what the upgrade will consist of. An extra £400 for upgrading the paint finish would not represent terrific VFM IMHO. Got any more details of what is on offer and for how much dosh? Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
draper40 Posted August 25, 2008 Author Share Posted August 25, 2008 Not sure of price as he will phone me tommorrow once he has had a look at it. It's a D some numbers, which I think isa turbine upgrade, but not sure. Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest diesel_jim Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 Water cooling and ceramic bearings help them to withstand higher boost, but don't over do the fuelling as EGT's will melt the rest of the engine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLACK CAB Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 Other common mods are 360 deg thrust bearings and cut back wheels. In fact all the parts are readily available if you want to re-build it yourself, a T20/25 Garret repair kit is around £80.00 with the gaskets. There's a wealth of info out there, if you need help send a PM. I can send you a pdf with photos. Rod. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
