Was thinking about the amount of tdv8 with turbo issues , has anyone put uprated turbos on one ?
I would imagine it would go quite well.

Never heard of anyone using another turbo. I can't see that fitting different turbos would be easy given they operate by an electronic actuator. ______________________________

Had mine replaced recently and was very surprised how small they are. Would need a remap to cope with extra air and maybe larger injectors. 2015 4.4 AB

Yes the look fairly small, but I suppose there's two of them and each bank is only 1800cc.

I remember thinking the 300tdi turbos were also quite small when I had a look at one. ______________________________

Hybrid turbos aren't some magic performance part, they're just turbos assembled with a non-standard cold or hot side - not sure it's really a valid term nowadays, when you can buy one with pretty much whatever spec you want.

So would a modified compressor in the turbo not improve the performance ?

Ive had cosworths and Subarus with Hybred turbos over the years and they all required larger injectors, bigger intercoolers, different ecus, etc. I dont think just modifying a turbo with a larger compressor wheel , etc would be effective becuase the standard ECUmight not have the parameters to deal with more airflow and provide enough fuel to match the increased airfllow.

Have you tried a remap ? I think they take the standard parameters to the max or close enough that your not stressing the engine components unduly.

Im very far from an expert so the above is my limited knowledge. 2015 4.4 AB
