Turbo replacement

Post by lukahu »

Hello everyone,

I think that my turbo in Peugeot 406 2.0 HDI 2001. is at the and of it's life, so I am interested in maybe getting a better turbo.
So are Turbo from 2.0 HDi and 2.2 HDi same or from 2.2 is stronger and do I need to do any other upgrade for turbo from 2.2?

Thank you

The 2.2 has a variable geometry, or more correctly variable nozzle turbo which your current engine management system has no facilities to control. I think you would be better off replacing it with a good second-hand unit, (they're normally very reliable).

Why do you think the turbo is failing?
2002 HDi 2.2 Exec Estate, (2008-12) (wonderful)
2003 HDi 2.2 6-speed Exec Estate (2012-19) (also a gem)
2009 Citroen C5 2.0 HDi VTR+ Estate (godawful heap)
2008 BMW E91 330i touring (great fun - murdered by a reversing SUV)
2007 BMW E91 325i touring (slower smoother quieter)
