Myna + ... - MTUPower - 04-11-2012
So I have little time, but I have a nice wagon. Help me take the next step with my engine; what would/could you do with $1000 in improvements to my wagon? Help me spend it with your ideas/fabrications/parts... specifically looking at the forced induction system. Highly doubtful I will go with a supercharger route so concentrate on a turbo and all that's involved. Think of what I already have and give suggestions on easy cheaper ways to improve it. If it's that easy do it yourself and sell the idea/actual articles to me....

I would think turbo rebuild with a larger trim compressor wheel for more airflow at higher speeds. It seems that is the only thing other than getting a new turbo that you might be able to benefit from

More flow at high end but less at low? Where will I find a new wheel? What new wheel would you suggest?
RE: Myna + ... - led-panzer - 04-12-2012
I would say an HX30 or HY35/HE341. It's a T3 flange so there's no silly adaptor plate. Also a larger intercooler, perhaps an air to water behind the headlight ala bgkast. And if you upgrade the turbo I would get a 3 inch exhaust made, the stock exhaust gives a 2-3 psi restriction with a stock pump, which is probably more with the amount of fuel you have.
Turbo - $300
Intercooler - $100
Piping/misc - $100
Exhaust - $300

How much turbo lag would those have?

The first one but not the second.
With the HY35, it has a 9cm exhaust housing. Dieselboy uses that turbo and says it spools about 2800 rpm, but that's with stock elements. Should be less for you.
It's all about trade-offs, an HX30 has a 6cm exhaust housing which should spool around 2200-2400 but it will give you a little more backpressure in the upper rpms. Also has smaller compressor.
Anything would be better than stock.

Thank you Led-P. Please keep them coming folks...
What is the easiest way to install a bigger exhaust? Drop me some specifics- who makes a flex downpipe? What about an affordable alternative to exhaust/muffler shops which want to charge an arm and a leg for a system?
Who has a vnt set up they want to sell me that would do my pump and wagon right? I'd also like to get a H2O injection system to keep the inside clean- nothing super fancy.
RE: Myna + ... - sassparilla_kid - 04-13-2012
I can't imagine making a larger diameter exhaust system being too difficult, especially if you can get long pipe, then it would just be a matter of putting in a couple elbows and the flange to bolt to the turbo, and the rest could just be one loooong straight piece going right out the back of the car

My buddy has a HE351V kicking around, already has a mechanical actuator retrofitted to it....

Will that fit in the engine bay? With a MA what else would be needed to control it? Is is not a bit too big? I'm not looking to make 400 HP.
RE: Myna + ... - JustPassinThru - 04-15-2012
I have a GT2256V I pulled last week from a 2002 Sprinter. Turns a little stiffly (i.e. doesn't spin freely) but there is neither axial nor side-to-side shaft play. Make me an offer.
RE: Myna + ... - MTUPower - 04-22-2012
sorry not interested in a project turbo...
RE: Myna + ... - winmutt - 04-23-2012
HX30W or HX35W. I also see the HE341's out there from time to time as well.

Is it still a automatic?
Swap in a 4speed tranny from a 240d!
