Turbo 3.0

[koolade9]

Yup, so you all clicked at the title...eagar to see a turbo'd 3.0... HA

but no, really...so I was in france last week, and saw an A6 with a 3.0TDI... and my first thought was...what are the chances it shares exhaust manifolds with the N/A 3.0 v6? From there, I'm sure you can pick up what I'm putting down... I'm going to post this over in the C6 forum as well since I think the B6s only get 2.5 TDI motors, and the B7s get a 2.7 TDI.

Anyone ever looked into this? or is there perhaps an EU audi mechanic on the board that can look at both manifolds and provide a definitive answer...

If this has been posted before, I'm sorry, but I searched back 2 years and didn't find anything related.

It may use a 15 degree V like the R32 which allows only a single head and a much easier turbo setup

here's a pic of the 3.0 TDI...



and this would show two exh inlets:



I now would like to rephrase my request... could someone in the EU compare the exhaust manifold gaskets for the 3.0 N/A and the 3.0 TDI? The more I read, they appear to be two completely different designs... but... what if... and that's just the exhaust manifold... the rest of the plumbing may be used as well...

Just a thought...

I'm pretty sure 2.7T manifolds bolt up, so twin turbo or even single turbo in theory is not a problem. What you'd need is a built short block and some good custom tuning.

I would be just happy to swap my petrol V6 for that diesel V6.

Clint and a few others in the B5 S4 forum are working on a single turbo application.

Your best bet is to talk to 3.0 King about building a forged bottom end 3.0L and then wait for the single turbo hardware and go that route.

I don't think parts from the TDI can be swapped over to the N/A petrol 3.0L. Typically Audi/VW TDI designs are very different lay-outs from the petrol 'brothers'.

you can run piggie back on the ecu just have to disconnect at emissions time. hardware is the easy part. then labour. finally can you afford a built motor with all the mods to follow? A good stand alone will run you $2000. all i need is two turbos and two manis to match everything else willl be what ever the customer wants as long as its doable and he/she can pay for it. Even if a DIY'r wants to do all the labour, parts alone will run 12+grand.

FWI. Eurospec does not sell to the public. Only authorized dealers can sell motors. I am a authorized dealer when i bought the first three built motors each person paid what i pay no mark up. that means if you want to buy from a dealer, they will be adding a mark up.if you use me no mark up.To be a dealer you have to fill out there aplication, credit check, Fed tax ID. for the acting party 3.0 Pros.
