Owner reviews for turbocharger

In my '00 Golf it lasted 189,000 miles. 174,000 miles chipped.

I have a T3 on a 1.9TD and it does seem to pull nice.....but there is lag to it...I have to wait till about 2200rpm until i get some spool. The T3 gives a nice pull after about 2.5k rpm. overall I am happy with the T3 turbo.....I havent started turning up the boost yet.....but its a lot more "alive" with the bigger turbo.

I am running a TO4E on a 2966cc bottom end and the spool up time is good, you don't really feel any lag what so ever... If you look at the bhp curve there is a little dip at 2800 rpm but thats down to the mapping.

I have a TO4E and love it.

The engine has to be the best part of the car. The 2.0t has a Garrett GT20 low pressure turbocharger. On all the SAAB boards I'm on. The engine has been the high point in the car. Nobody has had problems with it.

You guys should really check out that R2S, it's is MONEY.

Having driven my 2001 in both modes as well, I would say the top-end gains are where I felt a change, but even then, we're not talking 5-car-lengths in races here, folks. That being said, my K04 works nicely and the torque feels a bit more broad and I am enjoying it.

Mine just let go at 161400

Weak! I would of used a GT55R
