For example - my car with K14, used to do about 45mpg on the motorway, making about 2-3psi boost... Changed that for the GT2052V and instantly jumped to about 65mpg with 9-10psi boost on the motorway... Long as you're keeping charge temperatures down, you'll be gaining improved efficiency from higher boost.
If you think you consume more fuel when the boost is up, you're living in the land of petrol.
Guess i learn something new every day.

I agree with the comments about the td04.
Much better fuel economy and when you want to move it goes some

Conflicting views on td04s. I'm still considering one as most of what's been read is good but may have something else in the pipe line now
. Atm still stopping oil leaks, it now seems the turbo has not died it's just breather hose oil but can't be sure till it's off.

What other engine mods are done?
I also doubt I'm making 140 but it still gives other cars a run for there money as. No one likes a £350 old diesel smoking their £20,000 BMW off the line!
As for mods the usual, lda grind,gov mod and tuned pump, big air filter, non egr mani, straight through decay to back box and waste gate as far as it will go. Fmic from a Megane.

Likely to be around 135/140 then if setup well

TD04 FTW on budget with minimal hassle!
RE: Turbo finally on its way out? - ADV_93 - 01-10-2014
TD04's come on boost really aggressively. Makes the experience more fun
RE: Turbo finally on its way out? - Piggy - 01-10-2014
GTB2056vlks come on boost all the time...makes the TD04 experience seem like the roundabout at the local kiddies park compared to Alton Towers!
