200 tdi discovery Hybrid Turbo

Lej · Jan 15, 2022

I am looking at upgrading my 200 tdi engine turbo, I currently have a standard turbo and want to upgrade to a hybrid turbo for better boost at both higher and lower rpm.

The question is... What do I go for, has anyone tried them and have you run into any installation problems?

Thank you!

Which TDI engine?
Disco conversion or landrover

Hybrids cant give you both top end and low down grunt, for that you need a vgt.

Someone used to do a vgt kit (pretty dear Iirc) for the 200 disco and defender, cant remember their name, but will see if I can find it.

Defender one, might be worth speaking to them to see if they do a discovery version?

Thank you for your response!

So what would be the benefit of getting a hybrid turbo over a standard turbo and a VGT over a hybrid?

Im no expert but I would say a hybrid will give you more low end grunt OR more top end power, and a VGT will give you both.
Think 200tdi being as flat as a fart at low rpms, 300 and td5 are just the same, then any modern diesel with a VGT (not counting town cars) you can think of with grunt all the way through the rev range.

Very true, I've got my eyes on a VGT for my engine that's sold by allisports... They seem like a reputable company.
