Hi guys
I'm trying to do some research on turbo problems (if any) on the 2.0 TSi Golf 6 GTi. If you have experienced a broken turbo on your G6 GTi or know of someone that has (and you have the facts), please post it here. This relates to stock or modded G6 GTis.
The goal here is to ascertain whether or not these IHI turbos in the new Golf 6 GTis are reliable, and in some cases, if they're reliable enough to handle the increased boost pressures from tuners available today. (pressures ranging from 1.2 bar up to 1.45 bar)
From my own research, I have only found ONE single entry from an Australian guy who had a stage 1 tune loaded onto his new 2009 Golf 6 GTi and subsequently had to remove the turbo pieces from his intercooler. I wouldn't be surprised if you guys know about the post that I'm talking about since it was posted on the www.golfmkv.com forum. Unfortunetely the original author of that thread deleted his initial post which contained all the details. Still, that's one. So far...
p.s (this is not a tuner wars thread - please try and build on this so that we can establish the true nature / reliability of these turbos)
