The other half works at Dunelm head office so I’m ahead of you there. “Mrs suggests” I’m calling bullshit.Originally posted by Activ8 View Post

Back to the real world....
The Audi K16 arrived today:
Borg Warner Part No. is: 5316-970-6721
As fitted to the Audi 100 2.5tdi.
Activ says that the turbine wheel is supposed to be the same size as the VW K14 but it looks absolutely massive on the K16. Will take a look tomorrow as I have a K14 in the stores.

I spent some of today doing some bits on the old boys 2.4td. Full service, stat and coolant, welding repair to lower sliding door roller channel, arb links and arb bushes and stuck my old Audi alloys on it.
Might get some new oil in mine tomorrow ahead of Tuesday. It’s been in since I stuck the 2.5 engine in so it’s probably about 8k old.

Yep, thats right.
Your K16
Compressor 36/55mm
Turbine 50/42mm
OEM T4 K14
Compressor 35/50mm
Turbine 50/42mm
A 50mm turbine will see you to 200bhp. Its the same turbine size as the 400+bhp RS4 V6 bi-turbo.

Not taken apart yet but...
My K14:
Compressor 42/??mm
Turbine 50?/50mm
The GT2052v turbine exducer is 38mm for comparison so that’s why the K16 looks enormous.
Having a look online, it seems that the K16 in the Porsche has a 49/55mm turbine wheel so that could be what’s in mine.

Excited? Bet I'm nearly as excited as you are.
I'll start the sweepstake....
165 hp, 280 ft
Based on complete guesswork.Comment

Nah, you’ve thought about it. It’s far too close to what I think it’ll do to be a guess.Originally posted by regcheeseman View Post
Getting even more excited as it’s only tomorrow. I guess I’ll post up around this time tomorrow night. I may have time to post the headline figures at least shortly after the run. I’m planning to do a video too. I never get to hear it outside unless I stick my head out the window so I’m really looking forward to hearing it too, unless they have me sat in it that is. The old boy may be late getting there so I can’t rely on him doing a vid but who knows.

Cmon then, you've driven the thing, what do you think it'll make....Originally posted by TommyP View Post

I’m honestly in the same ball park as you Reg. Torque especially. Bhp is an odd one as it runs out of puff a tad early but then looking at yours and sausages runs, I think I’m underestimating the peak horsepower that it might make. I’m thinking of torque being between 260-280lbsft. Horsepower 150-170.Originally posted by regcheeseman View Post
It’s very much running great for towing but all round driving, now so much. It’s got fantastic low down torque for pulling and never having to downshift but hasn’t got the Rev range to thrash up to high speeds for fun. All I know is it’s much more powerful that the 2.4td and the drivability with this turbo is far superior to the K14 I had before.
The original target for info: 200bhp and 300lbs ft.

150 bhp 250 lbft small power increases always feel bigger on the road than they are.Hope it knocks em dead.

I’d still be happy at that, current power is great.Originally posted by S49 View Post150 bhp 250 lbft small power increases always feel bigger on the road than they are.Hope it knocks em dead.
Ultimately, this run is pretty much to throw down a baseline figure for the engine following the swap. It’s well documented I have loads of teething problems to iron out and then get it back on the rollers.
I’ve not touched a single thing to enhance it following booking the dyno. I’ll just check the oil level.
