The workhorse

[Wayne88]

Hi guys, looking for some advice on what the best way to up power on my caddy? I've fitted a touran bxf 1.9 tdi 90 engine in my van as it had a 2.0 sdi before. But it's still sluggish all be it not as bad as it was before. Any help would greatly be appreciated.

Thanks Wayne

Also interested to hear responses on this. Is the Touran engine swap straight forward enough?

get it remaped, it should hit around 130-140 or more with a bigger turbo/injectors

What turbo would fit to my engine then? I was going to fit the s3 intercooler from darkside. I've absolutely no idea on these things so keep it simple haha. I want to remap it once these are fitted as it's just double cost

what bhp do you want and whats your budget

a 1749 or 2260 would be my choice for more power.


you should hit 150ish on stock turbo for more you will need better injectors

It is a work van so I doesn't need to be crazy power. Well my cousin is a mechanic so he'll fit whatever I need so would just be parts, and hopefully they come in cheap enough. So the 2260 would be ok on stock injectors? And once remapped 150+ bhp

I also have a issue with my EML light staying on. Hooked it up to vagcom and this came up

I've changed pedals, and my local garage tried hooking up another throttle body but still stays on. Any ideas?

stock turbo will hit 150.

1749 stock will hit 180ish upto 250-280ish for a hybrid

2260 will hit 300+



a 1749 and 2260 are not a direct fit it will need the pipework altering and a different/modified exhaust manifold

I honestly think you will do very well to make 120 on the standard engine, they are not the greatest for tuning.

listen to doc, i thought it was a pd105. i didnt realise they made a 90bhp engine for the touran

Surely I can do something with it, here was me thinking I was doing a good thing. What would you do doc? New turbo, intercooler and exhaust system with a remap?

May i just ask a nooby question? 1749 and 2260? Are these turbo types? Very new to the caddy world

[Wayne88]

Yeah they are. I would've thought it be better to fit everything then remap. I just want to know what I should fit that would be less hassle and up the power to it's maximum

Did you check to see if any additional wiring needed doing when doing the engine conversion ?
When doing the BKD/AZV conversion to an SDI there's about 5 new wires that adding to the vehicle side of the loom and Ebox.
