cupra r turbo gone

[sods law]

hi there!!!! i am new to the site so i hope not to annoy anyone with this q?
my cupra r (02) 210 bhp will not accelerate after 2500 revs ie the turbo will not work. got it checked out - £60. apperently i need a new turbo estimate £1000 - 1400. i was hoping for a remap but now now with this cost. can i fit a 225bhp turbo or are they the same. plus where is the place apart from dealer for fitting? need help as usual cash is in short demand with xmAS SO CLOSE.

that sounds very very dear.
i think turbos are only a £300 part at most, cant think why they want £1400, thats beserk!!

shop about, try Euro car parts they may stock a turbo a lot cheaper, not sure if you can use the 225 K04 turbo, slightly bigger with more bhp. got a remap for my 225 cupra R cost £450, running about 265-270 bhp, best to upgrade dump valve tho if your going that route.

hope this helps

I think the turbo is the same in the 210 and 225 at least it is on vag-cat for BAM and AMK engines, BAM being the 225 and AMK the 210, here is the part number 06A145704QX

somethings wrong there dude.

look, i had a audi s3 which i crashed 3 months ago. i bought it with a bent turbo shaft. replaced the turbo myself.
turbos are the same and look the same apart from the k04-23 having a egt valve hole. k04-22 doesnt. i didnt know that and endet up buying the wrong one ( so have a k04 spare brand new). dude check which one you have ( k04-22 or k04-23 ) and give me a shout. and replacing the turbo on your own aint that bad, you need a friend for sure, damn hard tighting the bolts for the downpippe lol
