You can replace your Mitsubishi turbo with this Garrett part number: 741785-5014S (available at promotec as Hybrid Turbo!!!)

Not cheap
- It's done overseas
- its a brand new turbo with a 6 month warranty
- landed price to be expected at R25k landed inclusive shipping and duties paid
Not cheap though.... but estimated power output is roughly 180kw / 245hp
Not bad for a non LCI :idea:

Dieselboy just to paint you a picture. The gti is around 150kw. Your bmw is 147kw. I also done downpipe and software and a tiburon 2.7 V6 non turbo car made me cry. That car has only 130kw but it lighter then mine. Now imagine what a gti would do. I agree with Rolf we will need atleast 200kw to beat a gti. My opinion instead of spending so much money upgrading rather consider a 330d.
Its not impossible to get 200kw on our car but the cost is too much. Also remember ours is 4 cyclinder so that engine might not handle all that power for too long. Plus u might need to upgrade the clutch kit.
I just wish I bought a 330d instead of a 320d.
It is my dream to also beat a gti. I don't know why maybe its cause VW and BMW has been competitors for a long time.
But yesterday I realized that it is a dream that won't come true. Unless the gti has problems but then what is the worth of beating a broken gti.

I recently bought the car and at the time did not have enough for a 330d. It would be far too much of a hastle to sell it now and try find a 330d m sport. I was only considering the hybrid turbo.
But on another note, I've been reading of 120ds with the same engine as our car reaching 300hp+ which is around 220kw. Although they had quite a few more mods.

Dude I have a proposition for you. My GTI 5 will be tuned at month end, at the moment I'm stock and making the following figures on RBT's Dyno:
150.5 kw
293 nm
We can have a stock test, TLGP and then a rolling as well? Then after I tune I'd like a re test?
I'm not having my car tuned to be the quickest, I'm not adding a DP and no intake. Everything on the car, besides a "daily" stage 1 map, is stock and will stay that way for a very long time.
If you keen we can make the arrangements? Also if you have a "track" to test on it will be perfect.
BTW I also have an auto box :fencelook:
EDIT: I only have the car a month now, and don't know the car too well either. It's been a while since I owned a FWD.

enjoy your 320D for what it is, trust me you will. Its no tuned 330D, but it has sufficient power and awesome economy.
Later on you can sell it and get a 330D, I suspect you will have to pay in to much to do it now.

Guys, keep in mind that I proposed not to prove anything, but to help me gauge my car between stock and tuned and at the same have the 320d guys try answer some of their questions.
